Trigeminal Neuralgia

Frequently Asked Questions About Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment in Montana
Q: What is the difference between trigeminal neuralgia and TMJ pain?
A: Although they can feel similar, there is a difference between trigeminal neuralgia and TMJ pain. TMJ pain is caused by dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, while trigeminal neuralgia is a nerve disorder affecting the trigeminal nerve, often resulting in sharp, electric-like facial pain.
Q: What treatment options are available for trigeminal neuralgia?
A: Treatment for trigeminal neuralgia may include nerve blocks, medication, oral appliances, and therapy to reduce irritation of the trigeminal nerve. At our Montana centre, we focus on non-invasive approaches that help reduce nerve pressure and improve overall jaw and facial function.
Q: Can TMJ therapy provide trigeminal neuralgia relief?
A: In many cases it can. Because jaw tension and misalignment can aggravate the trigeminal nerve, TMJ therapy may offer meaningful trigeminal neuralgia relief by reducing inflammation and muscle strain in the surrounding area.
Q: How do I find a trigeminal neuralgia specialist near me?
A: The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Montana offers care for patients seeking a trigeminal neuralgia specialist near me, with targeted treatments designed to relieve pain, improve function, and address contributing TMJ or airway issues.
