Neural Therapy (NT) – One of the Best-Kept Healing Secrets for 100 Years
What Is Neural Therapy?
Neural Therapy (NT) is a holistic medical technique that uses small doses of local anesthetics—primarily procaine or lidocaine—to diagnose and treat dysfunctions of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). Injections are given into interference fields (IFs), scars, or nerve ganglia to restore self-regulation and promote healing of physical and emotional conditions.
Known in other contexts as “Procaine Therapy,” “Novocain Blockade,” or “Healing Anesthesia,” NT is fundamentally different from conventional anesthetic use: its aim is not merely to numb pain, but to resolve the root cause of dysfunction.


A Brief History
NT originated in Germany in the early 20th century. A defining moment occurred in 1940 when a simple scar injection relieved a distant chronic pain instantly—what became known as the “Lightning Reaction.” This led to the discovery of the interference field (IF), a central concept in NT.
Who Can Benefit from NT?
NT has been used worldwide to treat:
- Acute and chronic pain
- Migraines and neuralgias
- Allergies and skin conditions
- Chronic infections and inflammatory illnesses
- Gynecological and urological issues
- Psychiatric disorders including PTSD, depression, anxiety, and more
It can be combined with other medical approaches—psychiatric, homeopathic, surgical, energetic, and nutritional—to enhance therapeutic outcomes.
Discover Your Treatment PlanHow Does It Work?
NT temporarily interrupts pathological signaling in the ANS, often caused by hidden interference fields like scars, chronic infections, or emotional trauma. This reset can restore natural communication between organs, tissues, and the brain. The process is similar to rebooting a frozen computer—quick, safe, and effective.

What Is an Interference Field (IF)?
An IF is a chronically irritated tissue (e.g., scar, infected tooth, inflamed organ, or emotional trauma site) that silently disrupts normal body regulation. It may be located far from the symptom site yet be the root cause of dysfunction and pain. IFs can be found using history, physical exam, or advanced bioenergetic testing methods such as Body Energetic Testing (BET) system developed in our office.
Book an AppointmentSafety and Side Effects
NT uses preservative-free procaine in very low concentrations. Side effects are rare and usually mild—temporary fatigue, soreness, or low-grade fever. The treatment has been used safely on hundreds of thousands of patients for over a century. NT has fewer risks than many conventional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Why Is NT So Unknown in the U.S.?
Despite its long and successful history in Europe, Latin America, and the former Soviet Union, NT remains largely unknown in English-speaking countries. It is often dismissed as “alternative,” and is not covered by insurance.
To change that, I’ve worked with international experts to teach NT in the U.S., helped organize international symposia, and co-founded the North American Academy of Neural Therapy (NAANT.org) to train practitioners.
Conclusion
Neural Therapy is a powerful, underutilized healing tool. It is safe, cost-effective, and highly effective in treating a wide range of physical and emotional conditions by restoring balance in the autonomic nervous system. After 100 years of success abroad, it’s time more people discovered this remarkable therapy.
