Head and Face Pain

What it it?

Head and face pain, often called neuralgia, is an inflammation of the nerves and associated support system tissues. It is quite prevalent and often debilitating and must be differentiated from other common health issues like sinusitis, TMJ dysfunction, and tooth or salivary gland infections.

Conventional treatments for neuralgia were generally limited in their effect. With functional neurology, we can identify the part of the brain or the peripheral nerve causing your symptoms.
