Acupuncture for Trigeminal Neuralgia:
The Most Effective Neuralgia Treatment
LASTING RELIEF from Facial Nerve Pain
Without Drugs or Surgery!
It's been called the most painful disease known to humanity.
One of our patients described it as "like having a lightning storm on my jaw 24/7."
The sharp, shooting, searing electrical pain of trigeminal neuralgia can be unrelenting, even with medications.
And many of the medications prescribed for trigeminal neuralgia can come with unpleasant side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, or even depression.
Fortunately, there are non-invasive, non-drug solutions for the pain of trigeminal neuralgia.

What You Should Know About Acupuncture for Trigeminal Neuralgia
The first technique we use to treat trigeminal neuralgia is acupuncture.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in East Asia to address many kinds of health conditions. In addition to these millennia of tradition, it also has decades of modern research from around the world backing its use.
Acupuncture works by stimulating the body's built in healing abilities. Acupuncture has been proven to decrease inflammation, improve blood flow, and re-wire the brain's pain signaling network. It releases pain killing neuro-transmitters and provides long lasting relief from many kinds of chronic pain.
The effects of acupuncture are so powerful they can even treat the excruciating pain of trigeminal neuralgia!
In 2022, a systematic review and meta-analysis of 58 randomized controlled trials with 4,126 participants found that acupuncture is superior to medication in reducing trigeminal neuralgia pain.
Another study of 116 patients with trigeminal neuralgia found that acupuncture significantly decreased trigeminal neuralgia pain and also improved cognitive function and overall quality of life.
The relief from acupuncture is extremely long lasting. A 2017 longitudinal study of 60 patients confirmed that acupuncture outperforms medication in trigeminal neuralgia pain reduction, and that pain relief after a course of treatment was maintained six months later.
In our Orange County clinic, the effects of acupuncture for trigeminal neuralgia relief are enhanced by incorporating botanical medicine into treatment.
We use formulations of botanical extracts, such as corydalis, that have been used for thousands of years and are clinically proven to reduce pain, improve blood circulation, and reduce inflammation.
This combination of acupuncture and botanical medicine has an even more powerful pain relieving effect than either therapy by itself.
We use both of these natural methods together to treat trigeminal neuralgia, with outstanding results!

I figured I had tried everything else, and I had nothing to lose at this point. It ended up being the best decision of my life! After a series of treatments and taking some herbs I had relief for the first time in years! I kept at it and now I am off the medications and have no pain! Acupuncture really works and Empowered You has my highest recommendation!"
A Personalized Approach to Neuralgia Treatment
We don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to medicine. That’s why we design personalized treatment plans for each of our patients. No two people are the same, so why would we treat them as such?
The number of treatments needed to resolve trigeminal neuralgia will vary from person to person. We consider many factors in creating a personalized treatment plan, including the severity of the pain, the area of pain, how long you’ve had it, what the underlying cause is, and other health conditions like hormonal imbalances that might be contributing.
Based on these factors, we create treatment plans that are customized to a patient’s specific needs.
Our tailored approach and attention to detail are why we have an over 90% success rate in treating trigeminal neuralgia with acupuncture!
