Neural Therapy Treatment

What is Neural Therapy?

  • Neural therapy (NT) is an integrative medical technique developed in Germany in the 1920s by the Huneke brothers.
  • It involves injecting small amounts of local anesthetic (commonly procaine) into specific areas of the body to “reset” dysfunctional nervous system activity.
  • The premise is that chronic pain or illness can be perpetuated by “interference fields” — areas of previous injury, trauma, or scarring that continue to send faulty signals to the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

How It Works

1. Local Anesthetic Effect

  • Temporarily numbs nerves and resets abnormal signaling.
  • Helps break cycles of chronic pain and sympathetic overactivity.

2. Regulation of Autonomic Nervous System

  • Many chronic conditions involve dysregulation of the ANS.
  • Neural therapy seeks to restore balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic function.

3. Interference Fields

  • Common sources: scars, dental sites, tonsils, sinus tissues, old injuries.
  • Even if painless, these areas may disrupt overall health.
  • Treating these fields often improves distant symptoms.

Neural Therapy Injection Locations & Indications

Neural therapy works by using local anesthetic (commonly procaine) to regulate dysfunctional autonomic signaling, interrupt chronic irritation patterns, and restore normal neural communication.

Local / Segmental Injections

(Subcutaneous blebs over symptomatic area)

Common Locations

  • Cervical paraspinals
  • Thoracic paraspinals
  • Lumbar paraspinals
  • SI joint region
  • Around painful joints
  • Over trigger points
  • Along dermatomes

Indications

  • Acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain
  • Radicular symptoms
  • Myofascial pain
  • Headaches (segmental cervical work)
  • Low back pain
  • Shoulder dysfunction
  • Sciatica

Cervical Ganglion / Upper Cervical Region

Locations

  • C2–C3 region
  • Posterior cervical chain
  • Greater occipital nerve region

Indications

  • Migraines
  • Tension headaches
  • Post-concussion symptoms
  • Brain fog
  • Dysautonomia
  • Chronic neck pain
  • TMJ dysfunction

Stellate Ganglion (Advanced)

  • Anterior cervical (C6 level)

Indications

  • PTSD
  • Anxiety
  • Long COVID
  • POTS
  • CRPS
  • Chronic sympathetic overdrive
  • Vasomotor instability

(Usually performed with ultrasound guidance.)

Scar Injections (Interference Fields)

  • Any surgical or traumatic scar
  • C-section scars
  • Abdominal surgery scars
  • Orthopedic scars
  • Tonsillectomy scars
  • Dental scars
  • Appendectomy scars

Indications

  • Chronic unexplained pain
  • Digestive dysfunction
  • Hormonal dysregulation

Scar interference fields are a classic neural therapy concept.

Dental / Oral Region

  • Gingiva
  • Extraction sites
  • Root canal areas

Indications

  • Trigeminal neuralgia

Sinus / Facial Region (Superficial)

  • Maxillary region
  • Infraorbital region
  • Nasal bridge

Indications

  • Chronic sinus congestion
  • Facial neuralgia
  • Recurrent sinus pressure
  • Allergic patterns

Abdominal / Visceral Segmental Work

  • Dermatomal abdominal blebs
  • Epigastric region
  • Periumbilical
  • Lower abdominal

Indications

  • IBS
  • Bloating
  • GERD
  • Post-surgical dysregulation
  • Pelvic pain
  • Dysmenorrhea

Pelvic Region

  • Suprapubic
  • Sacral segments
  • Coccyx

Indications

  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Interstitial cystitis

Autonomic Reset Patterns (Dermatomal Chains)

  • Paravertebral chains
  • Thoracic sympathetic chain
  • Lumbar sympathetic region

Indications

  • Dysautonomia
  • POTS
  • Temperature dysregulation
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Chronic fatigue

Common Conditions Treated with Neural Therapy

  • Chronic migraines
  • Post-viral fatigue
  • Long COVID
  • Dysautonomia
  • Chronic back pain
  • CRPS
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Chronic digestive dysfunction
  • TMJ
  • Scar-related dysfunction

Contraindications / Cautions

  • Allergy to local anesthetic
  • Active infection at site
  • Bleeding disorders
  • Anticoagulation

Neural Therapy Pricing

Single Neural Therapy Session

  • $150 – $250 per session

Typical baseline range for a standard neural therapy injection visit.

Package Savings

  • 3-Session Package — $400 – $700
  • Encourages consistency and saves ~10–15%
  • 6-Session Package — $725 – $1,200
  • Best for chronic patterns and deeper nervous system reset

Packages are helpful because neural therapy often works cumulatively.
