No Reason to Smile (Trigeminal Neuralgia)
Just imagine a normal day and then suddenly, as the wind blows, half your faces screams with pain and there is nothing you can do.
When 35 yr.old Hayley was led into the clinic by her mother this was the case for her.Hardly able to talk and near hysteria she had been diagnosed by her GP with Trigeminal neuralgia , being fairly typical in presentation and often with out any effective orthodox conservative cure Arif has been able to dramatically help the half dozen cases presented over recent years.
“The trigeminal nerve is the largest of the 12 cranial nerves” says Arif. “It can be irritated or compressed when the skull’s bony plates or jaw joint (TMJ) move adversely, affecting the soft tissue behind the jaw cartilage.I believe restoring the normal motion of the jaw, cranium and the muscles acting upon the TMJ took Hayleys pain away.”
If it hadn’t been for Hayley’s Mum calling the clinic we may not be seeing this smiling face. Thanks Mum!
