neural therapy

Neural Therapy is a system to diagnose and treat medical problems of patients which are otherwise difficult to treat or resistent to treatment. Neural therapy (in German: "Neuraltherapie") can be traced back to the German physicians Ferdinand and Walter Huneke , who at first called it "Heilanästhesie" (curative anaesthesia), then "Segmenttherapie" (segmental therapy) and finally, at K.R. von Roques´s suggestion, "neural therapy after Huneke". This method is particularly widespread in Europe, above all in the German-speaking world, where it is widely used among doctors open to complementary medicine. Borne out by neurophysiological fundaments (head zones, gate control theory , etc.), it is also being recognized to an increasing extent by medical councils.

Form of energy medicine (vibrational medicine) akin to acupuncture, developed in Germany circa 1930 by two brothers, Ferdinand and Walter Huneke (also spelled "Huehneke"). The Hunekes, both medical doctors, maintained that injections of local anesthetics into areas of "energy" disturbance ("interference fields") could relieve pain, immobility, and dysfunction. Injection sites include acupoints, scars, and the sites of old fractures or past infection. Purportedly, neural therapy energizes "short-circuited" cells and helps to regulate "biological energy." Proponents recommend it for hundreds of health problems.
