At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we provide a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support individuals experiencing Trigeminal Neuralgia, a condition characterised by sudden, sharp, electric-shock–like facial pain affecting one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve.
From a TCM perspective, trigeminal neuralgia is often related to Qi and blood stagnation, wind-heat or wind-cold invasion, and meridian blockage affecting the face and head. By improving circulation, calming nerve irritation, and restoring meridian flow, TCM helps relieve facial pain and support nerve function.
Our TCM Support Methods for Trigeminal Neuralgia
1. Acupuncture
Carefully selected acupuncture points on the face, head, neck, and body help to:
- Calm over-stimulated facial nerves
- Improve blood flow to the affected areas
- Reduce pain intensity and frequency
- Relax facial muscles and surrounding tension
2. Electro-Acupuncture
For more persistent or severe nerve pain, electro-acupuncture:
- Provides continuous, gentle stimulation to nerve pathways
- Helps regulate nerve sensitivity
- Supports longer-lasting pain relief
3. Cupping Therapy
Cupping applied to the neck, shoulders, and upper back helps to:
- Release muscle tension that may aggravate nerve pain
- Improve circulation to the head and face
- Support relaxation of the nervous system
