Trigeminal Neuralgia and Neck Pain
Yes, trigeminal neuralgia can definitely be associated with neck pain. So what is
trigeminal neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain condition. It affects the trigeminal nerve which is
responsible for transmitting sensation from your face to the brain. If you have trigeminal
neuralgia, even the mildest stimulation to your face may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain.
For instance, simple activities like putting on makeup or brushing the teeth can be a
painful experience.
Initially, during the early phase of this health condition, patients may experience short,
mild attacks. However, as trigeminal neuralgia progresses, it causes longer, more frequent
attacks of searing pain.
Nevertheless, this does not mean you are doomed to a life of pain. There is a variety of
treatments you can choose. The usual treatment involves medication.
However, if you are looking for a more holistic approach in treating excruciating pain.

patients recover from trigeminal neuralgia and neck pain. With continued treatment,
patients experience fewer and fewer attacks.

Types of Migraines : Understanding a Neuro Disease
This video talks about the different types of migraines. A migraine is a pulsing or throbbing
pain in one side of the head. Subsequently, it causes nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light
and sound. Contrary to common beliefs, migraines are not all alike. Your migraine can be very
different from someone else’s. Thus, it is essential to identify the type of migraine you have.
To ensure you are doing the right course of action.
The three most common types of migraines include:
- The first common type is the migraine with aura. It is also known as complicated
migraine. It is because an aura can occur before or during a migraine attack. Specifically,
an aura is a series of sensory and visual changes. These include zig-zags, black dots, and
tingling numbness to one side of the body. To some, an aura serves as a warning sign.
People with migraine confirm that it is a prelude to incoming severe head pain. - The second common type is migraine without aura. It a pulsing and throbbing pain
usually associated with migraine. This type of migraine can last anywhere from minutes
to hours. However, without the warning phases like the aura, you will not see a common
migraine coming until it occurs. - The third common type is migraine without head pain. It is also called the silent or
acephalgic migraine. In contrast to the other types of migraines, this migraine behaves
differently. You experience the aura and all other visual discomforts. Other symptoms
of migraines might also be present such as vomiting, sensitivity to light, or sound. The only
thing that is missing is the headache. Hence, the name.
There are still several types of migraines with different characteristics and symptoms.
The above mentioned are just the most common types of migraines identified by the
International Headache Society.
If you want to know more about how Chinese medicine can help manage migraine symptoms,

Why Do We Get A Stiff Neck?
A stiff neck is commonly caused by a neck muscle strain or soft tissue sprain. It is described
as a soreness and in difficulty moving the neck. Sometimes, a stiff neck can be accompanied
by headache, shoulder pain, neck pain and/or arm pain.
Some of the most common activities
that can cause stiff necks includes sleeping with the neck in an awkward position. Sport injuries
are also common causes for athletes. A bad fall or sudden impact that forcefully pushes the head
to the side is a popular cause among adults. Additionally, turning the head side to side repeatedly
during an activity such as swimming as well as slouching with poor posture for prolonged periods
can lead to neck tension.
Moreover, studies are now acknowledging excessive stress or anxiety
as cause for a variety of physical discomforts. When you cradle your phone at one side of the
head and putting the neck in an abnormal position for a long period of time can also cause stiff neck.
Furthermore, underlying disorder of the cervical spine such as cervical herniated disc, cervical
degenerative disc disease and cervical osteoarthritis are also contributing factors.
