Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment Denver

01/31/2023

Hi Everyone, Warning, shameless marketing about to happen! I've just written another book, Solving the Pain Puzzle: Cases from 25 Years as a Physical Therapist, which is coming out this Spring. I'm hoping (and this is a huge long shot!) to become the first PT on the NY Times Bestsellers List--why not shoot for the stars right? Anyway to get there I need to pre-sell a bunch of books. If you go to my www.rickolderman.com website, you'll see a tab that says Patient Stories. There you'll find a pre-sale link to the publisher's website as well as three stories from my new book you can read/listen to. I think it's a great book and I hope it inspires people to look for solutions to their pain because I believe they're out there. Anything you can do to spread the word would be welcome! Thanks everyone and hope your 2023 is going well!

Trigeminal neuralgia is an extremely painful condition that results in face, mouth, sinus, and head discomfort.

I’ve had success with the few patients that I’ve been able to see with this condition.

Take a few moments to read this article when you get a chance.

I've created an image that shows the relationship between the trigeminal nerve, the subnucleus caudalis (SC) that extends down to the cervical spine and is responsible for pain and temperature signals. You'll also see the involvement of the levator scapula muscle at the levels of the SC. I believe it is this relationship that I am affecting when I treat TN patients correcting the stress the levator scapula is placing at the vertebral level of the SC. I would love to see if I can help you with your TN. Please contact me if you're in pain.

Hi Everyone, I've created this page to help people with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). I've only seen 2 patients with TN and have helped both. I've helped another woman with TN through my book, Fixing You: Neck Pain & Headaches available on Amazon. The reason I'm focussed on TN, is that it is supposedly unsolvable from a conservative care (physical therapy, massage, chiropractic) standpoint. TN embodies my approach to solving difficult pain conditions, which is to see and treat the body as a system, as opposed to components, which is what traditional medicine does. The reason this embodies my approach is that the trigeminal nerve is a cranial nerve (originates in the brainstem) and therefore should not be able to be affected by anthing external to the skull. However I believe otherwise and my minimal success (only 3 people, but 100% of those 3 people!) leads me to believe that TN is another condition that can be solved using a systems approach, which is how I helped all three TN patients as well as others with chronic pain. At the risk of sounding like I'm trying to sell something, I've created a program that addresses the issues I've found to be causing, or significantly contributing to, TN. It's called Heal Your Headaches (because it solves most headaches--even migraines-- neck pain and shoulder problems. You can find it at www.FixingYourHeadaches.com. It's very affordable. If you purchase my program, please, please reach out to me and keep me apprised of your progress. I would eventually like to write up a case study or other research paper for publishing in a medical journal to explain how and why this approach works. You would potentially be helping thousands of others with this painful condition as a result of changing medical opinion about its root causes. Thank you!

Here's a recent TN patient story. Her pain is solved. I'd love to help you too.

"My face pain was causing anxiety and I was unable to chew food. It was a relief to find someone who understood Trigeminal Neuralgia and didn’t want to put me on medicine or more surgery. Rick helped me with tools and techniques, dry needling to relieve the pain. My face pain is gone. I am on a program that is great for improving my life."
