Trigeminal Neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a long-term nerve condition that causes sudden, severe facial pain. Even simple daily activities such as talking, eating, brushing your teeth or a light touch to the face may trigger sharp, electric shock-like pain. Acupuncture may help support pain management and improve quality of life as part of an individualised treatment plan.
