Symptoms & Causes Of Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is described as a sharp, biting pain that is chronically affecting the brain and face. It can be triggered by mild, simple facial interactions, and although it starts as a small pain, it can increasingly grow worse. These periods of pain can last anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. It is caused by the trigeminal nerve’s disruption, usually from pressure or blockage. This can be a result of age or tumor compression.Various symptoms of neuralgia include:
-
- Sharp, lasting pain in the facial region
- Pain from common actions, like speaking, drinking, chewing, etc.
- Chronic pain in the jaw, behind the eyes, nose, and ears
Treatment Options
Acupuncture
Neuralgia can be a result of a few different factors, but almost always a form of unbalance in the body. Acupuncture seeks to find that balance again and help the body relax into a natural state. When the body is going through acupuncture, strained nerves can relax and inflammation decrease.*
Tui Na
When a trigeminal neuralgia pain attack occurs, it can cause the whole body to relax and tighten muscles. Tui nai massage therapy, especially when coupled with acupuncture, can enable the whole body to relax, which also promotes soothed nerves. As inflammation decreases, pressure on the trigeminal nerve can decrease and aleve pain.*
Dietary Therapy
By properly managing your dietary intake and physical nutrition, you can help your body stay in equilibrium. A personalized diet can help decrease inflammation in various parts of the body, as well and promote healthier recoveries when incidents do occur.*
