Neural Therapy
Spine and Back Pain
Back pain and disorders of the spine are among the musculoskeletal conditions that respond very well to neural therapy treatment. In this context, a physician trained in neural therapy always takes into account not only structural changes (e.g., a confirmed herniated disc), but also functional relationships such as blockages of individual spinal segments, abnormalities in muscular functional chains, active muscle trigger points, craniosacral connections, and even further-reaching links up to craniomandibular dysfunction (see “headache syndromes”). Based on a precise understanding of these systems, the neural therapeutic treatment of active muscle trigger points and myofascial trigger points plays a central role.
Typical indications (selection) include:
- Lumbar spine syndrome (LWS syndrome) and lower back pain (“LBP”)
- Lumboischialgia
- “Sciatica” and pseudoradicular syndromes
- Lumbar spinal canal stenosis
- Lumbar spondylarthrosis
- Painful lumbar spondylolisthesis
- Sacroiliac joint syndrome
- Coccyx pain (coccygodynia)
- Thoracic spine syndrome
- Intercostal neuralgia and chest pain
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
- Flank pain
- Cervical spine syndrome and neck pain
- Uncovertebral arthrosis
- Cervicobrachialgia
- Cervicocephalgia
- Cervical spinal canal stenosis
- All painful conditions following surgery
