Neural Therapy

What Is Neural Therapy?

Neural therapy is a complementary treatment method aimed at regulating dysfunctions of the nervous system. Since the nervous system is closely connected to the circulatory, immune, and hormonal systems, disturbances in this system may lead to various symptoms in different parts of the body. The goal of neural therapy is to reduce negative stimuli affecting the nervous system, support circulation, and activate the body’s natural healing mechanisms. It is often preferred in cases where conventional medical treatments have not provided sufficient results.

When Is Neural Therapy Used?

Neural therapy can be applied as a supportive treatment in a wide range of conditions affecting different body systems. It is commonly used in:

• Muscle and joint pain
• Circulatory disorders
• Allergic conditions
• Upper respiratory tract problems
• Menopause-related symptoms
• Thyroid function disorders
• Functional digestive issues such as constipation
• Stress- and depression-related complaints

This approach can be particularly effective in chronic conditions or cases resistant to conventional treatments.

How Is Neural Therapy Applied?

Neural therapy is performed using appropriate techniques determined after a detailed medical evaluation. The treatment is planned according to the patient’s condition and the affected areas. Applications may include superficial skin injections, treatments targeting spinal segments, or interventions on interference fields such as scars and surgical marks. The aim is to restore the body’s regulatory response through the nervous system.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Neural therapy is generally well tolerated and is applied using fine, small needles. It can be safely used across a wide range of patient groups without strict age limitations. It is particularly suitable for individuals with functional complaints related to the nervous system who have not responded adequately to conventional treatments.

Ultrasound-Guided Targeted Injection

What Is Ultrasound-Guided Targeted Injection?

Ultrasound-guided targeted injection is a modern technique that allows injection therapies to be performed under real-time ultrasound imaging, enabling direct visualization of the target tissue. The goal is to deliver the medication precisely to the correct location, at the appropriate depth, and in a safe manner—thereby increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. Compared to traditional “blind” injection methods, ultrasound guidance provides a more accurate and controlled application.

When Is It Preferred?

Ultrasound-guided injections are commonly used in the treatment of musculoskeletal and joint-related pain, including:

• Muscle tears, tendon disorders, and bursitis
• Knee, shoulder, hip, and other joint conditions
• Numbness and tingling caused by nerve compression
• Chronic pain originating from the lower back, neck, and spine

This method reduces the margin of error, especially in sensitive areas and small anatomical structures, allowing for more effective treatment outcomes.

How Is It Applied?

Before the procedure, the treatment area is carefully evaluated using an ultrasound device. Once the target tissue is clearly identified, the injection is performed under ultrasound guidance. Depending on the patient’s needs, the injected substances may include corticosteroids, local anesthetics, or therapeutic agents such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). This ensures that the medication is delivered directly to the affected area without spreading to surrounding tissues.

Who Is It Suitable For?

This method is particularly suitable for:

• Individuals with localized and well-defined pain points
• Patients with muscle, tendon, or joint-related conditions
• Those requiring precise injections in sensitive areas such as nerves or small joints

As Specialist Dr. Selen Bengü Erdoğan Gür – Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Specialist, my approach to ultrasound-guided injections focuses on accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment to control pain and support functional recovery.
