Neural Therapy
Neural therapy is a treatment that involves the superficial injection of local anesthetics or other substances into specific areas of the body to alleviate pain and dysfunction. The aim is to reduce pain and improve range of motion.
The theory behind neural therapy is that these injections can help regulate the body's autonomic nervous system, increase blood flow to the area, and reduce inflammation. Injections can be in areas of pain or scar tissue, peripheral nerves, trigger points, and acupuncture points.
In simpler terms, imagine your body's nervous system as a complex network of roads and highways. Sometimes, due to injuries, infections, or other factors, there can be "traffic jams" or disruptions in this network, leading to pain or dysfunction. Neural therapy aims to "clear the traffic" by injecting substances at specific points to reset or normalize the nervous system's function and provide relief from pain.
