Alongside Melissa, we explore her journey into her field and the incredible potential of neural therapy, particularly procaine injections, for treating various health issues like IBS, IBD, PMDD, PCOS, and even SAD. Melissa shares patient stories, showing the holistic benefits of these therapies. We also discuss the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and how neural therapy can resolve issues like frozen shoulder by addressing past traumas. Finally, Melissa gives us the details about an upcoming hands-on workshop designed to equip practitioners with practical skills in neural therapy.
Topics discussed in this episode include:
• How procaine injections in the celiac plexus can alleviate gastrointestinal issues like IBS and IBD.
• Why inferior hypogastric injections benefit pelvic health conditions like PMDD, PCOS, and endometriosis.
• How procaine injections can positively affect seasonal affective disorder.
• Why understanding the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems is crucial in neural therapy.
• How neural therapy can resolve conditions like frozen shoulder by treating past traumas or scars.
• Why a holistic approach is essential for effective neural therapy treatment.
• How neural therapy enhances treatments for severe pain and mental health issues like PTSD.
• Why patient history is vital in determining the areas to treat in neural therapy.
• How procaine’s short-acting nature is a safety feature in neural therapy.
• Why neural therapy addresses underlying issues connected through the body’s fascia.
• How local and segmental treatments in neural therapy can reset the body’s balance.
• Case studies that illustrate the interconnectedness of the body and the potential of neural therapy.
