Understanding Trigeminal Neuralgia
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. Even mild stimulation such as brushing teeth, talking, or touching the face can trigger sudden, severe pain.
The pain is often described as sharp, electric shock-like episodes that last for seconds to minutes. It usually affects one side of the face and may become more frequent over time if left untreated.
Our treatment focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving nerve function, and providing long-term relief through specialized physiotherapy techniques.
Early diagnosis and proper management can significantly improve quality of life and prevent worsening of symptoms.
