Relief for Trigeminal Neuralgia at Zamora Acupuncture

What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?

Trigeminal neuralgia is a condition that causes intense pain on one side of the face, often resembling an electric shock. It affects the trigeminal nerve, which transmits signals from the face to the brain. This condition is classified as chronic pain and can persist over a long period. Symptoms primarily include facial pain. Living with trigeminal neuralgia can be very frustrating, as simple everyday activities like chewing, speaking, or brushing teeth may trigger episodes of pain.

How can acupuncture help?

Acupuncture is an effective way to alleviate the symptoms associated with trigeminal neuralgia without relying on medications. It can help reduce the intensity and frequency of flare-ups, as well as diminish pain and inflammation. Additionally, acupuncture can address the stress that often accompanies this condition. Dr. Kourtney Zamora, D.Ac., has successfully treated many patients with trigeminal neuralgia and is eager to assist you in managing the symptoms of this painful condition.

What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment?

When you come to Zamora Acupuncture for treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, you can expect a thorough and compassionate approach designed to address your specific needs. Your appointment will begin with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Zamora will listen to your concerns, discuss your medical history, and ask about your symptoms, including when the pain occurs and how it affects your daily life. This helps us understand your unique situation and tailor the treatment accordingly. 

During the treatment, you’ll lie down in a comfortable position. Dr. Zamora will gently insert fine, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on your body, which may be around your face, head, or other areas to help reduce pain and inflammation. After the session, Dr. Zamora will remove the needles and discuss your experience, any sensations you felt during treatment, and what to expect moving forward. She may also offer additional suggestions for managing symptoms at home.

Your treatment plan may include follow-up sessions to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed. The goal is to provide lasting relief and improve your overall quality of life. At Zamora Acupuncture, we prioritize your comfort and well-being, aiming to create a supportive environment where you can find relief from trigeminal neuralgia and feel empowered on your healing journey.
