**What is Neural Therapy?**

Neural therapy is a complementary medical approach that activates the body's self-healing mechanisms. This therapy works on the autonomic nervous system to restore the body's overall balance. It involves the injection of small doses of local anesthetics (usually procaine) into the skin, either superficially or more deeply. These injections have a positive effect on the nervous system, helping to alleviate discomfort in the body.

**Which Conditions Can Neural Therapy Treat?**

Neural therapy can be used for many chronic and acute conditions. It is particularly effective in the following cases:

- Chronic pain (back, neck, joint pain)
- Migraines and headaches
- Fibromyalgia
- Nerve compression
- Rheumatic diseases
- Digestive disorders
- Skin problems (eczema, psoriasis)
- Stress and anxiety-related disorders
- Immune system issues

By regulating the nervous system, neural therapy can be effective in treating this wide range of conditions.

**Mechanism of Action of Procaine and Whether It Causes Numbness**

Procaine is the most commonly used local anesthetic in neural therapy. Its primary mechanism of action is temporarily blocking nerve conduction to reduce pain and discomfort. However, the doses used in neural therapy are minimal, so procaine only provides temporary numbness, which is usually short-lived.

Procaine also acts as a regulator at the cellular level; it blocks voltage-gated sodium channels in the cell membrane, modulating intracellular communication. This targets interference fields in the nervous system, accelerating healing.

**How Many Sessions of Neural Therapy Are Needed?**

Neural therapy typically requires several sessions. The number of sessions depends on the patient's overall health, the severity and duration of the condition. Some patients may experience significant improvement after a few sessions, while chronic conditions may require longer treatment. Generally, 6 to 10 sessions are applied.

**Who Should Not Receive Neural Therapy?**

Neural therapy should be carefully considered in certain situations. It may not be recommended in the following cases:

- Individuals allergic to local anesthetics
- Patients with bleeding disorders
- Those with active infections
- Women in the first trimester of pregnancy
- Patients with severe heart disease

In any case, the patient's overall health and existing conditions should be thoroughly evaluated before starting treatment.

**The Concept of Interference Fields and Their Relationship to Symptoms**

One of the fundamental principles of neural therapy is the concept of "interference fields." An interference field is an area in the body that negatively affects the nervous system and, due to this effect, causes discomfort in another part of the body. These fields often arise from old wounds, surgical scars, chronic infections, or dental issues.

Interference fields create an imbalance in the nervous system, manifesting as pain, dysfunction, or other symptoms in different parts of the body. Neural therapy aims to identify and treat these interference fields to reduce or eliminate symptoms.

**Most Common Interference Fields**

The most common interference fields are:

- Surgical scars
- Problems in the dental and jaw complex
- Chronic infection foci (such as tonsils)
- Old trauma marks or burns
- Old injuries

These areas may cause various symptoms in other parts of the body due to their effects on the nervous system.

**Effects of Oral and Dental Issues**

Oral and dental health has a significant impact on overall body health. Problems in the oral and dental complex, such as chronic infections in the teeth, old fillings or bridges, and jaw joint issues, can be associated with various diseases and symptoms in the body. For example:

- Headaches and migraines
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Digestive system issues
- Chronic fatigue and weakness

These symptoms may result from the effects of interference fields in the oral and dental area on the nervous system. Neural therapy can help resolve these issues.

### Frequently Asked Questions

1. **What is Neural Therapy?**

Neural therapy is a treatment method that works on the nervous system and activates the body's self-healing capacity.

2. **Is Neural Therapy painful?**

Since the needles are very thin, it generally does not cause pain except for a mild stinging sensation. The procaine used also provides numbness, which reduces pain.

3. **Does Procaine harm my body?**

No, procaine is used in small doses and under controlled conditions, which does not harm the body. Patients allergic to procaine should be tested beforehand.

4. **How many sessions of Neural Therapy do I need?**

The number of sessions varies depending on the individual. Generally, 6-10 sessions may be sufficient, but more or fewer sessions may be needed in some cases.

5. **Are there any side effects of Neural Therapy?**

After the treatment, slight redness or swelling may occur at the injection site, but these are usually short-lived. Occasionally, small bleeding points may cause bruising.

6. **Who cannot undergo Neural Therapy?**

Individuals allergic to local anesthetics, women in the first trimester of pregnancy, and those with bleeding disorders should consult their doctors before undergoing neural therapy.

7. What conditions is Neural Therapy suitable for?**

It can be effective in many conditions such as chronic pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, nerve compression, and digestive problems.

8. What is an Interference Field?**

An interference field is a nervous imbalance caused by a problem in one part of the body that can lead to discomfort in another area.

9. How do oral and dental problems affect my body health?**

Chronic infections in the teeth or problems in the jaw joint can lead to symptoms such as headaches, digestive issues, etc.

10. Can I continue my daily activities after Neural Therapy?**

Yes, there are no restrictions on your daily activities.

11. Can I drive after Neural Therapy?**

Yes, there are no restrictions on driving.

12. Is cortisone used in Neural Therapy?**

Cortisone is not used in neural therapy. Local anesthetic drugs are administered diluted with saline solution. They are not mixed with any other medication. The local anesthetics used are procaine and lidocaine.

13. Is Neural Therapy a permanent treatment?**

A well-treated symptom or condition should not recur. If a disease or symptom is recurrent, it may be due to significant deterioration in the person's living conditions, stress level, diet, or sleep quality. This situation should be investigated.

14. What should be considered before undergoing Neural Therapy?**

No special preparation is required.

15. What should be considered after Neural Therapy treatment?**

After neural therapy, the patient can continue with their daily life. Since the body's detox process also begins during treatment, it is recommended that the patient drink plenty of water.
