Neural Therapy and Triggerpoint Therapy

Both methods, Neural Therapy and Triggerpoint Therapy are useful for treatment of pain in patients with

• fibromyalgia
• chronic muscular pain and myogeloses
• lower and upper backpain and backache
• frozen shoulder and shoulder pain
• tennis ellbow and tennis arm
• carpal tunnel syndrome
• jaw pain
• arthritis and arthrosis and pain in joints from osteoarthritis and rheumatism
• kneepain and pain in feet
• ligamental problems, sprains and strains
• tendinitis
• accidents
• migraine and headaches of all kinds

Neural therapy

This is a method that uses the autonomous nerval system (Sympathikus) to increase and improve selectively the circulation of certain tissue. It improves function and repair mechanisms and reduces inflammation. This leads to reduced pain. The drugs injected are local anaesthetics such as Procain with no relevant side effects. The painkilling effect usually last much longer than the actual direct effect of the drug itself. This phenomenon is still not fully explained but well known.

Triggerpoint therapy

This method is quite popular since it allows the patient to selftreat and control early stages of recurrent pain and thus avoid vicious circles (pain -contraction- reduced circulation-more pain) especially from musculo-sceletal pains. 

It also helps in cases of dizziness, giddiness, tinnitus, nausea, heartburn and arrythmias and irregular heartbeat.

Triggerpoints are small contractions deep in muscle tissue that can last for months and years. The difficulty in finding these points are that they are often located far away from the actual location of pain. However, when a triggerpoint is identified pain can disappear in minutes, or just like in neural therapy even in seconds ("seconds phenomenon Huneke"). Most pain responds within 2-4 weeks of treatment even in chronic pain syndromes.
