BASES AND USE OF NEURAL THERAPY IN DIAGNO SIS AND TREATMENT

Pain treatment by using local anesthetics is of old tradition and its utilization in functional disorders might be the remedy of choice; an existing pathomorphology is at least an indication for a supporting us e. Findings of segmental reflexes and knowledge of chronically stressi ng factors can help for an efficient and cost-sparing treatment. The m ajor part of time has to be spent on examination but there is no need for high-tech instruments when anamnesis is carefully directed and pal patoric examination and functional probes are carried out conscientiou sly (including anatomical knowledge). In therapy there are also used t he segmental reflectoric pathways as well as <<neural techniques>> mea ning vegetative structures (sympathetic trunk, ganglions and plexuses) . In question of resistance to therapy is, considering chronic irritat ing conditions, the so-called <<treatment of the disturbing region>> a causal treatment in a strict sense.
