Trigeminal Neuralgia
Do You Have a Trigeminal Injury? We Can Help
If you’ve been living with a trigeminal injury, you know how difficult it can be. These types of injuries can make it difficult to speak, eat, yawn, or move the mouth and jaw muscles in general.
As stated by Science Direct, “Trigeminal nerve injuries not only cause significant neurosensory deficits and facial pain, but can cause significant comorbidities due to changes in eating habits.”
Fortunately, at Hilltop Physical Therapy physical therapists are highly trained in pain relief treatments for trigeminal injuries. Contact us today to learn more.
How can physical therapy help with trigeminal injuries?
When experiencing trigeminal pain, a physical therapist can aid in pain relief, in addition to providing you with targeted gentle tissue releases and cranial nerve releases to help get the affected area moving properly once again.
Our physical therapists can help manage and even alleviate many of the symptoms associated with trigeminal injuries. As stated by Physiopedia, many of the activities resulting in pain from trigeminal injuries include:
- brushing teeth
- shaving
- rubbing
- touching the painful area of the face
- putting on makeup
- eating or drinking
- speaking
- being exposed to the wind
- pain in the cheek, jaw, teeth, gums, and lips
- pain in one side of the face
- tingling or numbness in the face before starting to feel pain
Your physical therapist will assess the most common causes of your pain and create a treatment plan to treat the discomfort at its source, so you can get back to living life comfortably once again.
