Neural therapy for acupuncture non responders

Acupuncture activates our endogenous body inhibitory systems. If the endogenous evoked defensive action is not enough to cope with the problem, stimuli deletion processes must come in to help the body. Neural therapy deletes peripheral over excitation conditions and deletes fields of interference. Interference fields spread through neural, biochemical, and functional-muscular paths. They determine distant disorders.


If these paths are not known or not taken into account, acupuncture and neural therapy are bound to fail.
Both therapies are shown and their most important neural therapeutic injections are practiced using a headache model as an example.


Pain locations in the head are related to meridian courses. Acupuncture recognizes cephalgias related to the following meridians: bladder, gall bladder, stomach, the triple heater, and liver. According to von Wancura´s segmental anatomy postulates, thoracic organs are projected into the forehead and the temples (Yang-Ming-Axis), while abdominal organs are projected into the temples and the parietal bone (Shao-Yang-Axis), and pelvic organs into the occiput (Tai-Yang-Axis). Neural therapy can target and block stimulating sources stemming from these meridian disturbances. Neural therapy deletes incoming stimuli from these regions and, thus, is able to silence sympathetic, parasympathetic, and vascular stimulating projections at the head meridian area.
