KST A to Z

Trigeminal neuralgia/ tic douloureux - Face and Jaw pain

Jacquelyn Cole, DC

Corpus Christi, Texas

A patient who had been suffering from severe jaw and facial pain for over two months began care. She had been to her dentist but had no relief. She was unable to eat due to pain, and had sharp, shocking pains shooting through her face.

He finally diagnosed her with trigeminal neuralgia. Her MD put her on meds, but still no relief after several weeks.

I adjusted cranials and TMJ. She felt some relief and within a week she was eating normally and feeling tremendously better.

At this time, she has very rare episodes of minimal discomfort that last for a second or two. She is so happy to be feeling better, and to be able to eat without pain again! I have had two cases of trigeminal neuralgia and have found problems with temporal and sphenoid on the side of pain in both cases. They both responded great to KST.
