How we support trigeminal neuralgia in Chiswick
Alongside your neurologist's medication — never in place of it — your plan can draw on very carefully placed acupuncture, which has evidence for neuropathic facial pain, with restorative therapies supporting the exhaustion that constant vigilance against triggers creates. Treatment always respects your trigger zones. Everything is chosen after a proper assessment at our clinic in Chiswick, West London.
Facial pain with new weakness or numbness — see a neurologist urgently. A first episode of severe facial pain should be diagnosed before any treatment.
