Neural therapy

Neural therapy (NT) is a holistic treatment method that specifically alleviates chronic pain and activates the body's self-healing powers.

Through targeted injections of local anaesthetics at specific points in the nervous system, blockages in the body can be released and natural balance restored.

Quick Facts

  • Neural therapy uses the autonomic nervous system to promote self-healing.
  • Procaine, a local anaesthetic, is used in small amounts to stimulate self-regulation.
  • Neural therapy is covered by basic insurance (KLV) and is paid for by health insurance companies.

Causes

The autonomic nervous system is responsible for helping the body adapt to stimuli such as temperature, nutrition and stress. Illnesses or disorders often affect the information and regulatory processes of this system. This can lead to chronic pain, functional disorders or sensitivity disorders.

Symptoms


Typical symptoms that can be treated with neural therapy include:

  • Chronic pain
  • Functional disorders of the joints or organs
  • Sensitive or painful scars after injuries or operations
  • «Weather sensitivity» of scars or tissue

Treatment

Neural therapy involves the targeted injection of small amounts of procaine into specific areas of the autonomic nervous system. Procaine is preferred because it contains no additives that could cause side effects. It also promotes blood circulation and can be broken down by the body within 20 minutes. Procaine is also safe to use during pregnancy and on children.

Neural therapy can be performed on the skin, specific nerves, joints or organs such as the heart and lungs. The treatment is particularly effective for painful or sensitive scars, where an improvement can be observed in 90% of cases after just 1-2 sessions.

Neural therapy is an effective method of activating the body's self-healing powers. As a recognised form of therapy covered by health insurance, it offers an alternative to conventional pain treatment and functional improvement of the body.
