Neural therapy is a well-established regulatory medicine technique in which small, precisely placed amounts of a local anaesthetic — typically procaine — are injected into interference fields, scars, or chronic pain points. At our dental practice in Freienstein, we use neural therapy as a complementary treatment for chronic complaints that may originate in or be connected to the jaw and oral region. The goal is to re-establish the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation.
Procaine is one of the oldest and best-tolerated local anaesthetics available. Beyond its immediate pain-relieving effect, procaine also demonstrates anti-inflammatory and circulation-promoting properties. When injected into a disrupted tissue area, it can interrupt pathological nerve signals, reduce local inflammation, and allow blocked regulatory processes to resume. Patients with long-standing complaints — including headaches, neck tension, and jaw-related pain — often report noticeable improvement after just one or two sessions.
An interference field (also called a focal disturbance) is an area of the body — often a scar, a chronically inflamed tooth root, or an old extraction site — that continuously emits low-level stress signals affecting distant organs and tissues. In interference field therapy, identifying and neutralising these focal points is central to restoring systemic health. The jaw and dental region are particularly common sources of such disturbances, which is why neural therapy integrates seamlessly into a holistic dental approach.
At our practice, neural therapy is embedded within a broader philosophy of metal-free dentistry and biological medicine. We avoid materials and methods that may place additional strain on the body, focusing instead on treatments that support natural healing and long-term wellbeing.
Before any neural therapy session, we carry out a thorough consultation to understand your health history, identify potential interference fields, and determine the most appropriate injection sites. Treatment is performed with the finest needles available, minimising discomfort. Depending on your individual situation, injections may be placed at specific points along the jaw, around scars, at nerve exit points, or at acupuncture-adjacent sites.
Neural therapy can be combined effectively with other biological treatments we offer, including ozone therapy for local disinfection and tissue support. This integrative approach ensures that both the immediate complaint and any underlying regulatory disturbances are addressed simultaneously.
Neural therapy may be beneficial for patients experiencing:
It is particularly well suited to patients who prefer a biological, low-intervention approach and who wish to understand the deeper regulatory connections between oral health and general health.
The injections feel like a brief, light prick — comparable to a standard dental anaesthetic. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. Many report immediate or near-immediate relief of their symptoms following treatment, particularly in areas where tension or chronic pain had persisted for a long time.
This varies according to the individual. Some patients experience lasting improvement after a single session. Others benefit from a short course of two to four treatments, especially when multiple interference fields are involved. We assess the response to each session before recommending further treatment.
Yes. Procaine has been used in medicine for over a century and has an excellent safety profile when administered by a trained practitioner. At our practice, all neural therapy treatments are performed by experienced staff under strict hygienic conditions. We discuss any contraindications — including known allergies to ester-type local anaesthetics — in full during your initial consultation.
Absolutely. Neural therapy works well alongside other biological dental treatments. For patients recovering from oral surgery, it pairs effectively with PRF / Platelet-Rich Fibrin therapy to accelerate natural healing. For patients with jaw joint issues, it can complement TMJ therapy and splint treatment to address both structural and neurological components of the complaint.
