What Is Neural Therapy:
Neural therapy is an injection therapy utilized for chronic pain conditions. The injection involves the use of a local anesthetic such as procaine that works to treat chronic pain and normalize pain signalling in the affected tissues.
How Does Neural Therapy Work:
The solution is injected into peripheral nerves, scars, glands, trigger points, acupuncture points and other tissues. The function of the local anesthetic is to normalize dysfunctional pain signalling which is commonly at the root of chronic pain conditions. In neural therapy the intention is not to just anaesthetize the nerve, but rather to change the membrane potential temporarily, with the expectation that when the anesthetic wears off, the nerve function will return to normal.

Who Can Benefit From Neural Therapy:
- Back and neck pain
- Chronic pain from whiplash and head injury
- Joint pain
- Muscle pain
- Athletic injuries
- Jaw and head pain
- Post-surgical pain (including dental)
- Digestive disturbances
- Scars
How many treatments should I need:
- Some may require only one treatment as improvement is often felt within the first few days.
- On average most people need 1-6 treatments based on the severity of injury, location of injury and your body's ability to heal.
