If you have TN, you know it's not just a simple headache or toothache. It feels like sudden, severe, electric-shock-like or stabbing pain in the jaw, cheek, teeth, gums, or lips.
Instead of just masking the pain, we focus on specific structural correction — a precise method of analyzing and correcting misalignments in the spine, particularly in the upper neck.
Here’s why that matters for trigeminal neuralgia:
- The trigeminal nerve originates in the brainstem, which sits right at the top of the spine. If the upper neck bones are misaligned, they can create tension, irritation, or altered fluid dynamics around the brainstem. This can directly affect how the trigeminal nerve functions.
- By gently and specifically correcting the alignment of the upper cervical spine, we can reduce the mechanical tension on the brainstem and the surrounding nerve roots. This allows the nervous system to function more normally and can reduce the frequency and intensity of TN episodes.
- Unlike general chiropractic adjustments, specific structural correction is tailored to your unique spinal structure. It's precise, low-force, and designed to hold the correction over time, not just provide temporary relief.
