Neural Therapy: The Art of Regulating the Autonomic Nervous System

What is Neural Therapy?

Neural therapy aims to activate the body’s self-healing mechanisms by regulating the autonomic nervous system. It is a regulatory treatment method that seeks to eliminate the root cause of diseases by correcting dysfunctions (interference fields) in the autonomic nervous system — often referred to as the body’s electrical network. Surgical scars, infections, trauma, or dental issues may create these interference fields, which continuously irritate the nervous system. By injecting local anesthetics such as procaine or lidocaine into these areas, neural therapy restores the normal function of the nervous system.

In Which Conditions Can Neural Therapy Be Used?

Neural therapy is particularly effective in chronic pain syndromes and functional disorders, including:

Migraines and headaches

Neck, back, and lower back pain

Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions

Joint pain and osteoarthritis

Nerve pain such as trigeminal neuralgia

Hormonal imbalances and thyroid dysfunctions

Chronic sinusitis and tonsillitis

Allergies and skin diseases

Vertigo and tinnitus

Treatment Process

Before treatment, the physician takes a very detailed medical history. Past illnesses, surgeries, dental treatments, and traumas are thoroughly examined to identify potential interference fields. During the procedure, very fine needles are used to inject small amounts of local anesthetic into these interference fields, nerve pathways, acupuncture points, or painful areas. The goal of the injection is not to numb the area, but rather to send a short “reset” signal to the nervous system. This activates the body's regulatory mechanisms.

Scientific Basis of the Therapy

Neural therapy benefits from the effect of local anesthetics on the electrical potential of cells. Problematic cells remain in a state of constant repolarization (excitation) and are unable to return to a depolarized (resting) state. This persistent cellular imbalance is considered a root cause. The treatment goal is to first hyperpolarize the affected cells and, with repeated sessions, restore their normal repolarization/depolarization capacity.
