Good morning. I agree with Grace that it is important to see if "the pain could be caused by a bone compression in her neck". Please take a look at this link to see what we do that is different http://www.atlasorthogonality.com/PatientSite/aboutAO.html and this link to find where the closest Atlas orthogonal specialist is in relation to you http://www.atlasorthogonality.com/mapPage.html. Children generally respond remarkably to care.

Hi Lilys Mommy, I am so sorry to hear that your daughter suffers with this, If she has visible compressions then MVD is the way to go, however I would suggest a neck CT, if she is having pain in the throat as well as in her face the pain could be caused by a bone compression in her neck due to eagle syndrome, when the nerves are compressed before they get into the skull, if that is the case there are other options. It's just a suggestion but if she is having pain in both regions I would double check it. I hope that helps a little, but all the best for you both, and I hope things settle down for you soon. x x x

My daughter has let it be known that the back of her throat hurts even prior to her MVD. I didn't think anything of it until I read this discussion. They are sporatic yet intense. She has bilateral TN. Has had a MVD on her right side and is having her left side done in July. What should I do from here??? She is only 3 years old.

I am feeling like I have swollen glands but not the same way as the flu.

ok, Hope to see you, I'll look at your site again. I got to get ready to go out too. But you should hear the cracks that come from me!

What you are experiencing is "normal". With all that you have been through it is no wonder that you are afraid of being "cracked". That is one of the beautiful things about the Atlas Orthogonal precision adjusting technique. There is no "crack" involved. Most of my patients tell me that they are amazed that we actually did anything because they do not feel the actual adjustment. Yes, I do have to do a bit of hand holding through the beginning of care. As the care continues and the patient gets used to the adjustments the fear goes away. As for feeling sleepy after an adjustment, yes this is normal. Your body is trying to go into a healing mode. We heal when we sleep so it is a natural occurance. Many of my patients experience the feeling of being "wiped out" for the first few visits or even the first few weeks as thier bodies are healing. The more that you listen to your body and take the opportunity to heal the faster you will heal. It sounds to me like you are in good hands.

I am on my way in to see patients. I may be on later and would be happy to discuss your situation further. Please look at my website first as it may answer many of your questions. www.BackToHealthTexas.com.

Heya Doc M, I am doing the upper cervical chiropractor with the massage now for the ON and it helps a bit. But I am afraid of getting cracked as it kinda hurts! They have to hold my hands and I feel very sleepy after, is this normal? Can I talk to you later about it?

First of all I would like to thank Dana for inviting me to join this group. I appreciate the fact that there is a forum for discussion regarding GN, TN and the other offshoot _Ns.

Several mentions are made here regarding meds and neurologists and the lack of whole health care as opposed to treating individual parts. What is missing from all of this discussion is an answer regarding true treatment of the neurological impairment.

The reason that many of you have never had anyone work with you in a whole body health approach is because you are looking to specialists and GPs in the arena of the AMA. Those Doctors are very good at seeing symptoms and applying various chemical and/or surgical approaches to body parts. Unfortunately it is rare to find anyone in that arena who treats people. Not ymptoms. People.

My thought, get all of the input from your MD and Neurologist. Rule out underlying tumors, strokes, etc. and then find an upper cervical chiropractor. We treat people. We help remove the interference from your nervous system and allow your body to heal. Many of us apply nutritional approaches to give your body the appropriate building blocks to grow healthy again. Often we help with the underlying psychosomatic affects that also play a role in so many health conditions. By the way, I did not just say "It's all in your head". The symptoms are very real. What I am saying is that thoughts affect the way we heal or do not heal. Often it is helpful to change our thought patterns in order to truly alow ourselves to heal.

Yes, I said it. There is a whole body and body/mind connection approach to healing and staying healthy.

If you would like more direct input from myself or one of the very specialized Atlas Orthogonal specific upper cervical Doctors of Chiropractic, please see my web page at BackToHealthTexas.com.

I hope this helps.

You know it would be nice for the neuro or any other Dr. could say, "you should make an appointment with an ENT" in cases like that. I know they do realize that other thing my trigger, TN/GN or any other __N we may have. I wish they could try to treat us as a whole and not bits and pieces.
