Trigeminal Neuralgia Responds to Chiropractic Care in Fanwood

Trigeminal neuralgia in Fanwood is a painful condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from the face to the brain.

A recent case study concerns a patient formerly diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia on the right side characterized by spontaneous, intermittent pain aggravated by chewing, talking, and stress-related interactions.

An examination of the patient revealed misalignment of upper cervical vertebra and postural misalignments of the neck and head. After receiving treatment to address these biomechanical issues, the patient experienced a significant reduction in their trigeminal neuralgia symptoms.

The case shows the role of chiropractic care can play in the management of trigeminal neuralgia.

This research study comes from the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research, November 2016.
