Neural therapy

Injections of local anesthetics to treat chronic pain and restore body balance.

Neural therapy

Neural therapy is based on the theory that the body has an electrical system or “interfering fields” that can cause illnesses and ailments. These interferences are believed to occur in scars, trigger points, diseased teeth, tonsils, or any part of the body that has experienced an injury or trauma. Neural therapy involves injecting small amounts of local anesthetics into these areas to purportedly “restore” normal function of the electrical system and treat various medical conditions.
