Which Areas is Neural Therapy Applied to?

Neural therapy has a wide range of applications for both diagnosis and treatment. However, the regions and methods of neural therapy vary depending on the patient's condition, symptoms and treatment goals.

Areas where neural therapy is applied

Neural therapy can be applied to different parts and structures of the body. These include the following:

• Segmental Therapy (Dermatomes and Myotomes):
  • Neural therapy is applied to regulate nerve conduction in specific segments of the body (e.g. skin, muscle and organ areas connected to a spinal segment).
  • Objective: To regulate sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves in the relevant segment.
  • Areas of Use: Pain and functional disorders in the back, waist, neck, abdomen and chest.
• Ganglion Therapy:
  • Autonomic nervous system regulation is targeted with injections especially on sympathetic ganglia.
  • Example: Injection into the ganglion stellatum (in the neck) or lumbar sympathetic ganglia.
• Spinal Nerve Injections:
  • Injections into the nerve roots emerging from the spinal cord.
  • Objective: Pain control and reduction of inflammation at the nerve root level.
  • Areas of Use: Conditions such as herniated discs, sciatica pain, disc herniations.
• Skin and Subcutaneous Injections:
  • Neural therapy can also be applied to superficial skin and subcutaneous tissues.
  • Objective: To regulate interference fields on the skin and increase circulation.
  • Areas of Use: Scars, old surgical scars, chronic pain.
• Muscles and Ligaments:
  • Applied to important components of the movement system such as muscle tissues, ligaments and facet joints.
  • Objective: Reduction of pain and tension in the movement system.
  • Areas of Use: Fibromyalgia, tendonitis, sports injuries.
• Intravenous Applications:
  • When necessary, intravenous injections are used to remove toxins or improve circulation.
  • Intra-Arterial Application in Lower Extremities: Arterial injections can rarely be performed in circulatory disorders of the lower extremities.

Neural Therapy and Diagnostic Function

Neural therapy is not only a treatment method but also a powerful diagnostic tool. According toHorst Ferdinand Herget's definition, 70% of neural therapy applications are for diagnosis and 30% for treatment.

• Diagnostic Use:
  • Changes in the patient's symptoms during the injection can be instructive in determining the location and effect of the interference fields.
  • Therefore, neural therapy is an important tool for making the correct diagnosis and identifying the source of the problem.

Areas that should not be applied

Although neural therapy has a wide range of applications, some areas and conditions require attention:

• Head and Head Region:
  • Caution: Intravenous injections should not be given in the head and head area. This can cause serious complications.
  • Exception: May be administered with caution for diagnostic purposes and in a monitored environment.
• Contraindicated Conditions:
  • Careful consideration should be given to patients with acute infections, malignancies, bleeding disorders or coagulation problems.

Treatment Objective:

The aim of neural therapy is to get to the root of the problem by focusing on a specific area of the body and to alleviate symptoms through autonomic nervous system regulation. For this

• Identification of the Problem Area: Specific problem area should be determined for each patient.
• Local and Systemic Applications: Both local and systemic treatment can be applied when necessary.

Result

Neural therapy has a wide range of applications from segments to ganglia, from muscles to intravenous applications. However, for a successful treatment, the application sites should be carefully selected and the patient should be thoroughly evaluated. Instead of applying the same standard treatment to each patient, a customized approach to individual needs should be adopted.

This approach will maximize the effectiveness of neural therapy in terms of both diagnosis and treatment. When applied with the right techniques, neural therapy is a powerful method that can provide successful results in many diseases.
