I love the Indiana Jones movies. One of my favorite scenes is from the first film, where he shows Marian all his scars and tells her where they hurt so she can kiss them.

Scars are no big deal, right? I certainly have my fair share of them after six breast cancer surgeries.

What if scars were preventing your body from truly healing?

Scars, the Nervous System & Neural Therapy

Most of us think of scars as no big deal, just something left behind after surgery, an injury, or acne. However, research shows that around 10% of individuals with scars experience neuropathic pain, indicating that scars can have a deeper impact beyond the surface of the skin. In some cases, they can interfere with how your nervous system communicates with the rest of your body.

Your skin is packed with nerves that constantly send signals to your brain. When the skin is injured, those signals can get disrupted. Even years later, a scar can continue to create tension, pain, or symptoms in areas that seem totally unrelated.

What Is Neural Therapy? And Why Did I Try It?

Neural therapy is a gentle treatment that helps reset irritated or misfiring nerves using tiny injections of local anesthetic, often into scars. After my last surgery caused excessive scar tissue and failed healing, another surgery was suggested. A podcast guest mentioned neural therapy, I tried it.

Meet Dr. Allison Egan

I love my job as a Naturopathic physician! I am honored when a person chooses me to help investigate their health and guide them down the path of wellness.

I’ve spent a lifetime using and abusing my body through collegiate rowing, professional wilderness guiding, ski instructing, river rafting and sailing because of this I know a thing or two about injuries first hand!

I know how frustrating injuries can be and what the long recovery journey entails. I was drawn to Naturopathic medicine through my own search to optimize health, prevent injury and recover outside of the conventional medical model. I’ve believed in the body’s ability to heal long before I attended naturopathic medical school, and found my own path to physical recovery through natural therapies, hands on treatments (like injection therapies) and gentle movement.
