Not long ago a teacher came to my office with a migraine headache, nausea and photo phobia, or hypersensitivity to light. The photo phobia was so bad, she could not work under the fluorescent lights in her classroom. She had struggled with this problem, in varying degrees for many years.
A gentle chiropractic adjustment with a handheld instrument helped the neck muscles relax, but the migraine persisted. I then gave a series of injections containing procaine and homeopathic medications, under the skin of the patient’s neck and scalp, and into a couple of acupuncture points. The nausea left and within a few minutes the pain began to diminish. Within a few minutes the pain was completely gone. This patient required a few more sessions to permanently resolve her migraines, but the fact that such a simple and safe treatment ccould correct a longstanding, chronic pain problem is remarkable..
Another young woman came to me with abdominal menstrual pain. Her cramps were so severe, she was unable to stand and had to lie down. I gave her six small homeopathic injections just under the skin of the abdomen and additional injections injections along both sides of the lower spine for her low back pain. Within 15 minutes, both the abdominal and back pain were completely gone.
Traditional Medicine vs Newer Alternative Therapies
Traditional medicine relies mostly on narcotics and other drugs to control pain. This often works for the short term, but pain medications, especially narcotics, are dangerous and addictive if used for extended periods of time. These medications do not correct the pain, but only block it temporarily, leading to continued dependency.
Several wonderful pain treatments have evolved in the last century – treatments that are effective in eliminating both acute and chronic pain. These methods include Biopuncture and Neural Therapy. American doctors are not generally aware of these methods, as they were primarily developed in Western Europe. None of these injection treatments uses narcotics or other dangerous drugs.
Neural Therapy, first developed by two medical physicians in Germany in 1925, is the injection of procaine, a natural anesthetic, into scars or painful muscle “trigger points”. More recently Dr. Jan Kershott, MD, of Belgium developed Biopuncture, using injections of homeopathic medications. Biopuncture was featured recently on the Dr. Oz Show.
Both of these injections therapies are effective in treating acute and chronic pain. Results are consistent and two year follow up studies have shown continuing success rates between 80-100%, depending on the specific pain problem.
Biopuncture and Neural Therapy are safe and effective treatments for pain, no matter how longstanding it is, because they actually help to heal and restore normal function.
