Chiropractic practice may relieve rare facial pain disorder
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Trigeminal neuralgia, a rare pain disorder that causes intense attacks of pain in the mouth, cheek, nose or other areas on one side of the face, can sometimes be treated with upper cervical chiropractic, a practice that specializes in aligning the two bones of the upper cervical region of the neck to allow the brain to more effectively send signals to the rest of the body.
Sometimes the pain feels like a drill driving electric bits into the back of your eyeball.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder of the fifth cranial or trigeminal nerve of the skull.
It manifests by attacks of intense, stabbing pain affecting the mouth, cheek, nose or other areas on one side of the face.
Some medical sources say it is the most painful disease known.
Tomasi tried all kinds of medical treatments to deal with trigeminal neuralgia, including powerful epileptic drugs that left him in a zombie-like state, he said.
Tomasi says he finally was healed after 12 years of suffering when he was treated in February 1997 by an upper cervical chiropractor in Oklahoma.
Tomasi writes that the doctor made a simple correction to the upper neck, aligning his spine to allow his brain stem to send normal nerve messages to the rest of his body.
Later that day, after one treatment, Tomasi began to feel improvement, with shorter durations of pain.
Today, Tomasi continues to have maintenance corrections by an upper cervical doctor.
Tomasi was in Hickory recently to give his personal testimony about upper cervical chiropractic during the grand opening of Upper Cervical Health Centers of America, located on U.S. 70 in Hickory.

He completed his surgical residency at the University of Texas Houston Medical School, and he recently finished his fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio.
