1. A method of inhibiting the function of a nerve traveling with an artery comprising:

  • providing an external imaging modality to determine the location of the artery of a patient;

    placing the artery in a first three dimensional coordinate reference based on the imaging;

    placing or associating a therapeutic energy generation source in the first three dimensional coordinate reference frame;

    modeling the delivery of energy to the adventitial region of the artery or a region adjacent to the artery where a nerve travels;

    delivering therapeutic energy from the therapeutic energy source, from at least two different angles, through the skin of a patient, to intersect at the artery or the region adjacent to the artery;

    and, at least partially inhibiting the function of the nerve traveling with the artery.
