Trigeminal Neuralgia is a terrible condition that rarely responds to traditional medicine or surgery.  We have seen countless patients with TN over the years and each case is unique in it's own way.  Some patients heal completely, never to have TN again and others may only improve 40% - 50% so there are a number of issues at play which would need to be investigated by an Upper Cervical Doctor.  What I can say for certain is that if his TN is caused by and Upper Cervical Subluxation, he will do better.  What I can't tell you is how much better...40%, 60% or complete recovery.

There are a number of testimonials on our website from patient who had TN and are now living a normal life again with Upper Cervical Care.  You should also read the book "What Time Tuesday?".  It is the journey of James Tomasi and his struggles and recovery from TN. 

I would strongly encourage him to seek out the nearest Upper Cervical Doctor to see if he is a candidate for care!
