What is neural therapy?
Neural therapy is a complementary treatment aimed at the autonomic nervous system, in which a local anaesthetic is injected at specific points. It is used in chronic pain syndromes together with other treatments.
Dr. Aghalar Javadov is a member of Bilimsel Nöral Tedavi Derneği (the Scientific Neural Therapy Association).
What is dry needling?
Dry needling treats tense points within a muscle — trigger points — directly with an acupuncture needle. It is called “dry” because no medication is injected through the needle.
What is myofascial pain syndrome?
A condition in which hidden trigger points in the muscles cause persistent pain in the neck, upper back, lower back and shoulder. The main causes are a long-term sedentary lifestyle, stress and tension, and poor posture.
When are these treatments used?
- Chronic low back and neck pain
- Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome
- Muscle spasm
- Muscle tension linked to a sedentary lifestyle
Well-chosen physiotherapy procedures, individually selected exercises, dry needling and neural therapy protocols relax the muscles, improve circulation and help reduce pain. More: Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain.
