Neural Therapy
Since the 1940s, Neural Therapy has become a popular therapy, especially in Europe. More than 35% of German doctors already employ it, although in North America, most doctors just have a basic understanding of trigger point treatment as one of its applications. Essentially, it entails injecting local anesthetics, like procaine, into nerve bundles (ganglia), peripheral nerves, scars, glands, acupuncture points, trigger points, the skin, and other tissues to lessen chronic pain patterns and other types of interference fields, or hyper-stimulation or dysfunction of the nervous system. Restoring the neurological system’s or other physiological systems’ correct function and tone is the aim, in addition to minimizing or getting rid of chronic pain patterns.
Perineural Therapy
A natural method of treating chronic pain linked to damaged tissues is perineural treatment (PNT), also known as Lyftogt Perineural Injection Treatment and neural prolotherapy (NPT). When appropriately taken, it may have dramatic therapeutic benefits and provide long-lasting pain and inflammation relief.
Dextrose 5% in sterile water (D5W) and, on occasion, 1% procaine are injected repeatedly beneath the skin to target painful locations where the nerves are sensitive. This therapy was initially discovered and developed by Dr. John Lyftogt. Dr. Lyftogt discovered that treating painful nerves, which are damaged or non-healing sensory nerves located just under the skin’s surface, is a successful method for treating and curing neuropathic pain and inflammation. By reducing chronic pain brought on by superficial peripheral nerves, an injury can actually repair itself by allowing the deeper structures underlying the nerves to start their healing process.
Every treatment seeks to make the discomfort go away. Following the initial treatment, pain alleviation may last anywhere between four hours and four days. Regularly scheduled treatments (6–8 sessions) lead to a steady decrease in general pain with the goal of total resolution (a pain score of 0) and the restoration of full function. Depending on the problem, success rates range between 80 and 100 percent. Recurrence is rare for the majority of conditions unless there is a new injury.
D5W is a medication that is incredibly safe; it is utilized as an IV solution in hospitals all over the world. The risk is reduced because the therapy is primarily subcutaneous and only uses a half-inch needle.There could be a little bruise.As of yet, no allergic responses have been recorded. The only negative effects that have been recorded are extremely uncommon maize allergies and transient histamine-induced welts at injection sites.
Conditions that Perineural Treatment treats:
Perineural treatment is frequently used as a natural substitute for conventional painkillers like cortisone injections, and it has proven to be quite effective in treating a number of disorders, including:
- Migraines and headaches
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic pain throughout the body
- Tendinitis
- Bursitis
- Arthritis
- Sciatica
- Knee discomfort following surgery
- Muscle & Ligament Injuries
- Athletic injuries
- Whiplash
- Concussions
- Nerve impingement or entrapment
- Pain following surgery and paresthesia
- Altered sensation of scar tissue
- Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
