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:
A 57 year old female presented with right sided trigeminal neuralgia (TN) of two years duration. TN pain was helped by medication and made worse 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.
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.

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)
History included being knocked unconscious in a fall when ten years old, significant fall while skiing thirteen years prior and recent fall onto the sidewalk.
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.
