Understanding medical terms can get a bit tricky sometimes. That’s because some seem to refer to the same condition. One example of this would be trigeminal neuralgia and TMJ. Both conditions cause extreme facial pain that can worsen with movement. Unfortunately, many aren’t sure if they have TMJ disorder or trigeminal neuralgia. As a result, some people suffer from their painful disorder in silence.
For decades, people with trigeminal neuralgia used anticonvulsant medications. Today, people use various other drugs to help ease what is known as the “most excruciating pain known to man.” Some extreme cases make people choose surgery as a last resort to pain relief. Yet, today, the good news is that upper cervical chiropractic is another option that has helped many people find freedom from pain.
