What Is Advanced Segment Therapy and When Should It Be Included in Treatment?

If segment therapy does not produce the desired effect, extended segment therapy may be appropriate. The neural therapist injects the anesthetic substance around the nerve nodes, the ganglia, in the vegetative nervous system. The autonomic nervous system consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves.

The sympathetic system activates fight or flight, leads to increased energy consumption, and activates inflammation and pain.

The parasympathetic nervous system serves relaxation, renewal, and detoxification functions.

In cases where segment therapy is unsuccessful, extended segment therapy, together with deeper injections, significantly speeds up the course of treatment.
