Lumbar spine: Diagnosis and therapy with neural therapy
(Springer Nature Link, 2026) Ural Nazlıkul, Fatma Gülçin; Nazlıkul, Hüseyin
The lumbar spine, due to its topographical location and the significant load it bears, is frequently a center for chronic and acute conditions. Typical symptoms include pain and movement restrictions caused by various factors such as degeneration, postural imbalances, structural changes, or functional disorders. Neural therapy offers an effective method for both diagnosis and treatment by specifically targeting interference fields and influencing the body’s autonomic regulation. Notably, neural therapy has shown positive results in the treatment of lumbalgia, sciatica, and degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. It supports tissue regeneration, improves circulation, and reduces pain perception by modulating the autonomic nervous system. These outcomes are achieved through precise injection techniques, such as facet joint injections and spinal nerve injections, allowing for direct and localized treatment. Neural therapy aims to activate the body’s self-healing powers and eliminate interference fields by targeted injections into the autonomic nervous system. By modulating the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, pain syndromes can be alleviated, and functional disorders corrected. The importance of comprehensive diagnosis, which considers both functional and autonomic factors, is essential to maximize the effectiveness of neural therapy and ensure holistic treatment.
The cervical spine
(Springer Nature Link, 2026) Nazlıkul, Hüseyin; Ural Nazlıkul, Fatma Gülçin
The cervical spine (CSS) is the most mobile part of the spine, consisting of seven vertebrae that connect the head and trunk. Neural therapy and manual medicine offer effective approaches to treating CSS dysfunction through targeted injections and mobilization techniques. These therapies can reduce pain, improve mobility, and normalize autonomic functions. Case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of these combined approaches in treating cervical spine disorders.
The thoracic spine
(Springer Nature Link, 2026) Nazlıkul, Hüseyin; Ural Nazlıkul, Fatma Gülçin
The thoracic spine (TSP) is the longest section of the spine, consisting of 12 vertebrae. It connects the cervical and lumbar spines and is responsible for the motor and sensory innervation of the trunk. Pathological stimuli can be reflexively relayed via the autonomic nervous system (ANS), leading to dysfunctions. Palpation plays an important role in diagnosing TSP dysfunctions. Injections into the spinous processes, facet joints, and intercostal nerves can be used to treat pain and movement disorders.
Rare but critical: Indomethacin-responsive headache with long-lasting autonomic symptoms
(Galenos Publishing House, 2026) Talibov, Tural; İnci, Meltem; Ekizoğlu, Esme; Baykan, Betül
Hemicrania with long-lasting autonomic symptoms (LASH), first described in by Rozen1 , is an extremely rare headache disorder thought to be part of the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia (TAC) spectrum. However, it is not included in the current International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition (ICHD-3).2 Notably, patients with LASH typically respond well to indomethacin.
Sacroiliac joint or ıliosacral joint
(Springer Nature Link, 2026) Nazlıkul, Hüseyin; Ural Nazlıkul, Fatma Gülçin
The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is often regarded as a controversial and enigmatic structure, serving as a source of explanation for various pain conditions and functional limitations that are otherwise difficult to categorize. This article provides a detailed examination of the SIJ’s anatomy, biomechanics, and the role of the pelvic ring. The SIJ is a synovial joint with limited mobility, crucial for weight transfer from the trunk to the hips. The article emphasizes the significance of ligamentous structures surrounding the SIJ and highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches combining manual medicine and neural therapy, particularly focusing on the treatment of ligamentous structures. Techniques for the injection of ligaments in the SIJ region are discussed, offering effective conservative treatment options for sacroiliac dysfunction. The review also includes detailed examination procedures and identifies the common sources of pain associated with the SIJ.
