Trigeminal Neuralgia:

Doctors diagnose it as Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). Some call it Tic douloureaux. Victims of it often, sadly refer to it as the “Suicide Disease.” If you are one of thousands of people burdened by this extremely severe nerve condition, which results in stabbing or electric pain in the face, mouth, and head—you need no reminder how little is known about it…and how little help is available.

The purpose of this article is to inform you about methods that are indeed liberating TN sufferers from the prison of pain. These are all non-surgical and drug-free approaches! 

Perhaps you have failed to get any significant or lasting results from various pain medications, as an attempt to chemically mask the gruesome pain, which can be triggered by the slightest touch, chewing, laughing, brushing teeth, etc. Many of these prescription drugs are actually meant to treat seizures or depression. 

If you are like some victims of Trigeminal Neuralgia I have treated over several decades, you have also tried one or more of the radiation or surgical procedures that have been recently offered, but with little or no success. 

The pain of trigeminal neuralgia is caused by interference to the trigeminal nerve. It is the fifth cranial nerve, which transmits pain and other sensations from the brain to your face, including the surface of your eye. The nerve is also involved with your chewing muscles, as well as sensations of pressure and temperature. 

In many cases, all of the diagnostic tests, including MRI, CT scans, and various neurological technologies, do not even reveal any physical evidence to explain the pain. Tests merely rule out the presence of suspected causes, such as tumor or other growths. Although there are various hypotheses on the causes of trigeminal neuralgia kicking around medical circles, there is no agreement. 

The bottom line is that trigeminal neuralgia is essentially a name that is given to a set of symptoms. Giving your debilitating pain a fancy Latin name, changes nothing for you. Your choices seem to be drugs and surgery.

In my practice, I have had considerable success helping people with Trigeminal Neuralgia. Each patient has different treatment requirement, but I will address the methods by which I have commonly achieved some stunning results.

Non-invasive Upper Neck Corrective Procedures:

Interference to blood vessels and/or nerves at the base of the skull has been implicated as a cause of TN. Unfortunately for sufferers of trigeminal neuralgia, the mainstream medical community has focused their efforts on pharmaceutical and surgical approaches to treat it. 

This is a pity because many patients have been helped tremendously by a drugless and non-surgical procedure called Atlas Orthogonal. 

This sophisticated treatment is endorsed in the book, Striking Back -the Trigeminal Neuralgia Handbook, published by the Trigeminal Neuralgia Association in the year 2000. 

I am sad to say that few doctors even know about Atlas Orthogonal, so it’s unlikely you’ve been told to investigate it. An entire article (with videos) is dedicated to this procedure, which could very likely play a major role in bringing you lasting relief.

If you do not live in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area, I recommend you seek an upper neck specialist at the following website, which maintains an international directory of doctors, plus other excellent information: http://www.upcspine.com/prac1.asp

Auricular Therapy: Specialized Ear Acupuncture

Acupuncture has been successful for many sufferers of TN. There are substantial numbers of successes reported in the Chinese medical literature, but not much in English. Success of course, depends on the patient, the methods being used, as well as the skill of the practitioner.

Auricular Therapy is not the same thing as acupuncture done on the body (traditional Chinese medicine). It was developed initially in France, by famed neurologist, Paul Nogier, MD. 

This is the method I use in my practice with great success, for people with supposedly incurable chronic pain—including trigeminal neuralgia.

Low Level Light Therapy, also known as Cold Laser Therapy, has been an incredible resource for many of my trigeminal neuralgia patients. 

This safe, completely painless, and non-invasive treatment technology works on the cellular level. Bio-energetic Supplementation

Bio-energetic wellness support is an important part of my patients' success. It is based on the principles of homeopathic medicine.

Obviously, I cannot promise or guarantee you that I can help you with your Trigeminal Neuralgia. However, I have helped most of the patients who have come to me with this horrible condition. Perhaps you will have the chance to finally get the relief you deserve.
