NEURAL PROLOTHERAPY

NEURAL PROLOTHERAPY CURE FOR PAIN

What is pain?

Pain refers to a natural response by the human body to prevent us from causing more injury on the already injured area. The intensity and persistence of pain gives rise to two types of pains: – one of which is the pain that experience briefly then disappears. An example of this kind of pain is the one we experience when we touch a hot object. This pain disappears after some time. The second time of pain is the one that persists and occasionally this is the kind of pain that takes you to the doctor. It is referred to as chronic pain. This pain is normally termed as neurogenic pain.

NEURAL PROLOTHERAPY

How do we experience pain?

Pain is normally communicated to the brain through our autonomic nervous systems which composes of nerves. These signals are sent to the brain once a given part of the body is injured, saying that it is in pain. The interpretation of this signal takes place in the brain and it then makes us aware of the pain, which prevents us from making more injury to the affected area.

What is neural therapy?

This is a treatment of gentle superficial injections that treats chronic pain and dysfunction through resettlement of autonomic nervous systems (ANS) at the site of pain. This results to normal signaling from the nerves to the tissues and the organs that they control.

The autonomic nervous systems functions without our deliberate in order to control vital activities such as blood circulations, metabolism, body temperatures, heart beats etc. The problem with this system is that it can be disturbed by some negative influences such as pollution, toxicity, noise, stress etc. If this disturbance happens, the autonomic nervous systems will not be able to function normally and hence effects such as chronic pain.

The only solution to this problem is by restoring the system to its functional state. The good news is that researches have proven that neural therapy has the capacity to restore this system so that the autonomic nerves can communicate normally again.

Neural therapy can be used to treat quite a wide variety of conditions. Such conditions which can be addressed by this therapy are the chronic pain. Chronic pain condition can improve significantly even after just one treatment. Some of the conditions which benefit from effectiveness of this treatment are Neuralgia, Sciatica, Neck and back pains. The effectiveness of prolotherapy can be realized when a person is treated with neural therapy prior to or at the same time as the prolotherapy treatment.

Is neural therapy treatment painful?

This treatment uses a very thin needle to inject and thus it is almost painless. The needle which is used to inject this sugar solution under the skin is almost the size of hair. This means you may not even feel it. The advantage of this treatment method when used to treat pain is that it will relief you of pain almost immediately. The relief comes within a few seconds of the injection since the injection focuses on the pain area.

How long does it take me to be pain free?

When subjected to perineural injection therapy, these treatments should give you pain relief anywhere within two hours to two days. In case the pain comes back within one hour after the medication session, it is very likely that the therapy won’t work for you and thus other medication option may need to be considered. The other treatment which will be of help in this case is the Prolotherapy. After every session, you should remain painless for longer and longer periods until the pain doesn’t come back or it may even never come back at all.

NEURAL PROLOTHERAPY

Can I be able to stop my pain medication after this therapy?

Yes. Many of the people who have undergone this therapy have reported to have been on narcotics and nerve pain medicine for long time. At the end of the therapy when the pain has gone, you can actually stop your pain medication. This is one of the reasons why neural therapy makes it possible for you to treat pain while remaining free from addiction. It saves you the addiction which would have resulted from the prolonged use of these pain killing medications which are reported to be among the leading contributors of drug related addictions. It is although advisable that when you are stopping your pain medication you should do it gradually (slowly) to avoid the withdrawal effects which follows abrupt stoppage of taking addictive substance.

Are there any side effects of using NPT?

This therapy doesn’t have many associated side effect, but prolonged soreness at the injection site and temporary bruising may be among the uncommon side effects. Just like with any other injection, NPT injection may pose potential risks of infection, fever, allergy, and sometimes no relief or even worsening of pain however, these are rare cases to be reported and if they occur, NPT may not be the causation.

Are there restrictions in terms of activities that one can do while under this treatment?

When you are under this treatment, we in fact encourage activity. If you remain active, your blood will be flowing well. Exercise helps much when undergoing this treatment. Therefore there are not restrictions on activities when under this medication.

Where do I get this treatment?

You don’t have to be worried about this anymore! The best known doctor who many people recommend when it comes to Prolo Neural Therapy, Dr. Akoury is here for you. Call us today and get your problem addressed.

Neural Prolotherapy and Cancer Pain Management

Neural Prolotherapy (NPT) For Cancer Pain Treatment

Neural Prolotherapy

Neural Prolotherapy

Neural Prolotherapy (NPT) is a new concept in the treatment of cancer but it is simple to implement and has had far reaching effect on managing chronic pain. The wonder therapy uses dextrose solution in sterile water to address a pain neuropeptide referred to as TRPVI. TRPVI is what triggers the release of pain and inflammatory peptides that lead to excessive pain.

NPT works by adhering to the peripheral nerves, this are nerves that are very close to the surface of the skin and are the main cause of pain. A thin injection may be used to deliver 5% dextrose in sterile water. This water is delivered to all superficial nerves and eventually it leads to a complete freedom of pain especially in the area surrounding the injected part.  NPT targets areas with chronic constriction injuries that affects the nerves health and stimulates the pain.

The technique is simple and reliefs the patient from the pain. Once the superficial nerves are put under this treatment, the pain goes away almost immediately. The treatment targets the correct nerve and addresses it instantly. Once this has been done, the pain goes away immediately. The duration it takes before one starts feeling the pain again depends on the underlying tissue and the nerve constriction. It also depends on how long it will take the dextrose before it repairs the constrictions. Nevertheless, it may take 6 treatment days before the patient is fully cured.

Other than being used to manage cancer pain, NPT has been used in managing lower back pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel, stiff necks, Achilles tendonitis and many other ailments. It is an exciting treatment that can be used to react to chronic pain relief without necessarily resorting to use cortisone injection or medications.

More practitioners are acquiring more skills and knowledge on the use of Neural Prolotherapy NPT and this is expected to better cancer pain management.

Neural Phototherapy (aka Lyftogt Technique) is based on the premise that overuse or injury of the superficial nerves is the main cause of pain and dysfunction.  When Dextrose solution is injected under the skin, the dextrose is able to heal the nerves that lead to the sensation of chronic pain.  The dextrose solution heals the dysfunction that perpetuates the sensation of chronic pain.  It then allows the connective tissue and the nerves to heal and one ends up feeling much better.

The patients will get immediate relief from pain and may not require the use of anesthetics. it can be used to treat all trigger points  and requires a follow up of between 1 week or 2 months depending on the extend  of  the injuries  sustained.

When this method is used, the following outcomes will be expected

  • Elimination and decreased pain after between one and five treatment
  • Increased mobility
  • Increased stability of the joints
  • Reduced pain bites
  • Reduced swelling and tenderness
  • No need for surgery
  • Reduced inflammation.

How is Neural Prolotherapy done

In the treatment of cancer pain, sugar or glucose can be injected just below the skin to promote the healing of tissue damaged so as to rebuild them. There is intense research on using growth factors such as autologous platelet rich plasma, bone marrow aspirate and many other substances in the treatment.

There are still no properly conducted clinical trials although recent studies show that Dr. Lyftogt has been able to develop neural phototherapy treatment protocols for migraine.

Neural Prolotherapy

Neural Prolotherapy

The Neural Prolotherapy according to Dr. Lyftogt can be relied on in managing neurogenic inflammation. His assertion is based on the work by Douglas W. Zochodne who hypothesizes that prolotherapy treats pathological inflammation.  According to Dr. Lyftogt, injection of 0.1 % lignocaine induces proliferating peptidergic effectors while at the same time reduces vascular endothelial growth factor level that restores repair processes hence reducing or eliminates pain.  The injections target specific receptors TRPVI that are present in the nerve nervorum. These are the smallest nerve fibers that are responsible for pain and the swelling in the protective sheath of the nerve trunk (neurogenic inflammation)

According to Dr. Lyftogt, there is already evidence that neuropathic pain syndromes causes peripheral neurogenic inflammation that involves autonomic and sensory nerves. What the doctor needs to demonstrate on is how the neurogenic inflammation is enhanced and how the sugar injection reacts to it.

If you are suffering from neuropathic pain, or any chronic pain, Dr. Dalal Akoury one of very few trained in Neural Prolotherapy NPT by Dr. Lyftogt in this procedure can help you. Do not hesitate to call AWAREmed Health and Wellness Center for immediate pain relief.
