There is a condition that is among the most devastating of all health conditions both in pain and social impact. It is known as Trigeminal Neuralgia.
The medical approaches to these conditions are extremely invasive, including botox injections. Botox, or Botulinum toxin as it is known in the scientific community, is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.
Here is a case study from his research of over 300 cases:
Dr. Michael Burcon an upper cervical chiropractor and researcher from Michigan, has done some incredible research on the upper cervical spine. He has determined that over 90% of patients who have been diagnosed with these types of conditions have suffered a head or neck trauma usually whiplash an average of 15 years prior.
Prescriptions included Gabapentin for trigeminal neuralgia 900 mg 3xs/day (2700 total with 3600 being maximum prescribed)
Here's an example from his research: A 57 year old female presented with right sided trigeminal neuralgia (TN) of two years duration. TN pain was helped by medication and exacerbated by exposure to cold. Secondary complaints included high blood pressure, hypothyroidism, diminished hearing in left ear, neck pain, bilateral shoulder pain, right shin numbness and allergies. 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 TN 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. Additionally, she reduced her high blood pressure medication by fifty percent. 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 "Although a case study is limited in its ability to provide conclusions, this study is a typical representation of over three hundred cases in the research."
If you've been diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, Bell's palsy, Meniere's disease and have a history of head or neck trauma then an upper neck evaluation is a logical next step.
