Neural Therapy

What is neural therapy?

Neural therapy consists of injecting very low doses of local anaesthetic into certain areas of the body (trigger points). It is considered a form of alternative medicine, especially when used in the treatment of chronic pain and diseases. Its main benefit is that it does not have side effects nor does it usually have complications. The most common substance used in the injections is procaine (also called Novocain).

​

​

What does it consist of?

Neural therapy is a gentle healing method that consists of injecting a local anaesthetic (most commonly procaine) into certain areas of the body in low doses. The aim is to repair a damaged portion skin which is sending signals of pain to the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Neural therapy stimulates a lasting change to this nerve function and promotes healing of the ANS
