Nerve pain medication, typically anticonvulsants, is usually first-line. Our pain medicine specialists can manage this directly as part of your plan, coordinating with your neurologist as needed.
Hands-on treatment targeting jaw, neck, and facial muscle tension that can contribute to overall pain sensitivity, timed carefully around active flares.
For cases resistant to medication, procedural options like microvascular decompression may be discussed with a neurosurgeon. We support recovery and ongoing management if that path is chosen.
Persistent, unpredictable pain often brings anticipatory anxiety. Pain-focused therapy addresses these patterns and helps with trigger management.
Between visits, a certified pain coach helps you track trigger patterns and build sustainable daily habits.
Your first visit focuses on reviewing your diagnosis, current medical treatment, and trigger pattern, plus a physical assessment of jaw, neck, and facial tension. From there, your care team builds a coordinated plan with your neurologist.
Timelines vary. Your team will help set realistic expectations based on your specific case.
“I learned a lot about myself – what I could do to help myself, how I can help myself with my toolbox, that medication isn’t always the answer. My care team showed me how to cope with the pain and deal with everything.”
