Neural Therapy

Autonomic Nervous System

Neural therapy is a medical approach that diagnoses and treats local disturbances of the autonomic nervous system. The foci of the disturbance called interference fields, are electrophysiologically unstable and emit abnormal neurological signals to which the autonomic nervous system reacts. These areas of involvement could be those of cervical scars, teeth, autonomic ganglion, internal organs and somatic dysfunction.

The autonomic nervous system reacts to interference fields in many different ways, myofacial or other pain syndrome may occur. Visceral function may be disturbed resulting in illness such as asthma, stomach problems, angina, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual irregularities, etc.

Neural Therapy is performed by infiltrating the interference field with dilute preservative free lidocaine, followed by intravenous bolus into a convenient vein on the same side of the body if necessary. The rationale of this treatment is that the interference fields are caused by local cell membrane instability.
A "caine" anesthetic restores cell membrane stabilization properties, restores the electro potential and helps normalize the physiology to those tissues. Usually this effect lasts longer than one would expect from local anesthetic and with needed repeated treatment the interference field is often permanently abolished.
