Drug Free Relief Of Trigeminal Neuralgia

Thursday, October 17, 2013

By Dr. Lauren Millman


A collection of conditions known as Cranial Nerve Compressive Syndromes such as Trigeminal Neuralgia, Bell's Palsy, Hemifacial spasm are among the most devastating of all health conditions both in pain and social impact.

The medical approach to this condition is incredibly invasive, including drugs such as gabapentin and botox injections or a type of brain surgery called Microvascular decompression. This procedure can have serious complications including death, stroke, hearing loss and facial weakness. The surgery itself can cost as much as $70,000.

Here is a case study from his research of over 300 cases:

Natural relief for trigeminal neuralgia and other conditions is possible, if a person has a history of head or neck trauma.

Prescriptions included Gabapentin for trigeminal neuralgia 900 mg 3xs/day (2700 total with 3600 being maximum prescribed)

Prescriptions included Gabapentin for trigeminal neuralgia 900 mg 3xs/day (2700 total with 3600 being maximum prescribed)

One week after her first upper cervical specific adjustment the trigeminal neuralgia pain diminished dramatically in frequency and intensity. After discussing the improvement with her neurologist, she started cutting back on her Gabapentin dosage. After eight weeks, the patient was completely off the medication and pain free.

One week after a specific upper cervical adjustment the pain in the face diminished dramatically in frequency and intensity. After discussing the improvement with her neurologist, she started cutting back on her Gabapentin dosage. After eight weeks, the patient was completely off the medication and pain free. After two years of maintenance care, she is still pain free without medication, even after major dental work.

Dr. Burcon concludes this case study by stating "...this study is a typical representation of over three hundred cases researched at Burcon Chiropractic over the past ten years, where the same protocol is used for all one sided brain stem disorders, including Bell's palsy, migraine headaches, Meniere's syndrome, Trigeminal neuralgia, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease."

If you've been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, Bell's palsy, Meneire's disease or a similar condition, an upper neck evaluation is a logical next step.
