Neural Therapy
Neural Therapy in General Practice
In my nearly 20 years of practice as a family physician, including the use of Huneke’s neural therapy, I have always strived to apply this therapy across all medical specialties and have achieved success with many different clinical conditions over the years.
In addition to the entire musculoskeletal system (see “Neural Therapy for Musculoskeletal Complaints”) — which is a primary focus of neural therapy — gynecological conditions in particular often respond very positively to treatment. Typical examples include premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, endometriosis-related symptoms, pelvic pain syndrome (which is usually chronic), pelvic and lumbar spine pain following pregnancy, menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms, hormonal migraine (see “Headache Syndromes”), and many others.
In otolaryngology (ENT) as well, there are common conditions that we can often alleviate or even cure. Typical examples include sinus problems such as sinusitis, chronic obstructed nasal breathing, nasal polyps, burning sensation on the tongue, frequent infections of the throat or oral mucosa, a globus sensation in the throat, chronic hoarseness, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), and many others. An attempt to treat tinnitus (chronic ringing in the ears) can be made if the physical examination findings support it.
In dermatology, there are various conditions that typically occur in only one or a few areas of the body and often respond exceptionally well to local neural therapy. In addition, the neural therapist also works on the overarching structures, such as the nerves and blood vessels supplying the skin region. For skin conditions with a completely unknown cause (e.g., psoriasis), it is almost always advisable to perform a search for interference fields (see “Huneke´s Neural Therapy”).
Certain viral infectious diseases, such as herpes simplex (HSV1 & HSV2) or shingles (VZV) — including the pain that often persists even after the skin has healed — can also frequently be positively influenced. With a good response, recurrent outbreaks of herpes viruses can sometimes be completely prevented.
At the patient’s request, neural therapy can also be used to address systemic diseases (e.g., rheumatism), psychological and psychiatric problems, and “unclear clinical pictures” that remain despite thorough diagnostic evaluation. For these indications in particular, an intensive search for and treatment of interference fields is of special importance.
For me, integrating Huneke’s neural therapy (see “Huneke’s Neural Therapy”) into my daily general medical practice represents an enormous enrichment of my work as a physician. By improving or restoring the body’s own regulatory mechanisms, many medical conditions can be treated very effectively, which often spares my patients pharmaceutical therapies with numerous side effects as well as surgeries.
