Palsy Treatment Options
Cranial Nerve Compression Syndromes are a series of conditions that include Bell’s Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Hemifacial spasm, and a number of other conditions. Not only are all of these conditions extremely painful, but they also cause a high social impact for sufferers.
Most modern treatments are highly invasive and include Botox (derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacteria) and Microvascular decompression (a dangerous form of brain surgery that may cost up to $70,000).
Upper Cervical Chiropractic as an Alternative Treatment
A researcher and upper cervical chiropractor in Michigan has determined that more than 9 out of 10 patients with a Cranial Nerve Compression Syndrome have experienced trauma to the head or neck. Most injuries were approximately 15 years old.
One of the patients who participated in the research was a 57-year-old woman with trigeminal neuralgia on her right side. Medicine helped the pain. Cold made it worse. She also suffered from hypertension, hypothyroidism, left ear hearing difficulties, numbness in her right shin, allergies, and shoulder pain. She was on 2,700 mg of Gabapentin per day (3,600 mg is the max dosage).
The patient’s history included three traumas. When she was 10, she fell and was knocked unconscious. At age 44, she was injured in a skiing accident. Recently, she had slipped and fallen on the sidewalk.
Just one week after her first upper cervical chiropractic adjustment her pain was greatly lessened. Within eight weeks, she had no more pain and stopped her medication. She was still pain-free after two years. She was even able to decrease her blood pressure medication.
