Chiropractic for Trigeminal Neuralgia
You can feel relief from the symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia
Natural Relief for Trigeminal Neuralgia in Georgia
If you’ve ever been unlucky enough to experience trigeminal neuralgia symptoms, you’ll know precisely how those sudden and severe pains feel. Basically akin to being given an electric shock in one side of the face, with brief and unpredictable stabbing pains. No, thank you.
A chiropractor for trigeminal neuralgia knows that this debilitating pain can be caused by a variety of things, but most commonly, a blood vessel pressing onto the trigeminal nerve. This tiny nerve is responsible for the feeling in my face, and when it’s angry, boy, do you know about it.
Our clients who seek trigeminal neuralgia treatment know that trigeminal neuralgia symptoms can be triggered by small everyday actions, like talking, eating, or even touching the face. Even a gust of breeze can bring on an attack of pain. Given that we’re not about to give up fresh air, conversation and mealtimes, it makes sense to seek out expert chiropractic treatment for trigeminal neuralgia. Because a life spent on increasingly strong medications is no one’s idea of fun.
The good news is, your Georgia trigeminal neuralgia chiropractor at Ball Ground knows exactly how to pinpoint the root cause of this pain and devise a tailored, gentle, and precise plan to solve it. We’ll soothe that nerve irritation without drugs or surgery, and help you get your life back after this debilitating condition.
What Are Trigeminal Neuralgia Symptoms?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a chronic pain disorder that causes severe and stabbing pains in the face. It’s caused most commonly by a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve, which goes to show how powerful tiny things can be. Other causes exist too, such as nerve lesions, MS, a tumour or even dental work.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Symptoms
Trigeminal neuralgia symptoms include sharp, electric-like facial pain, plus sensitivity around the eyes, jaw, and cheek. Sometimes it can cause stabbing pain in the gums, and the attacks tend to affect one side of the face.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Attacks
Trigeminal neuralgia attacks can last from a couple of seconds, to several minutes. What’s more, people suffering from this chronic condition can experience recurring bouts of attacks for months. The team at Georgia Upper Cervical Chiropractic has seen patients who have experienced hundreds of attacks a day, and the effects can be truly debilitating.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Effects
Frankly, trigeminal neuralgia is horrible, and we wouldn’t wish it on anyone. What’s more, the condition can easily disrupt daily life, particularly as everyday movements can so easily trigger it. People with trigeminal neuralgia symptoms can end up feeling depressed and isolated, and lose weight on the world’s worst diet because they can’t eat without pain.
Trigeminal Neuralgia and Chiropractic Care
Don’t despair, though. Happily, trigeminal neuralgia and chiropractic care are a match made in heaven, and we CAN help you to find relief. The team at Georgia Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Ball Ground is here to help ease the pain and help move off those powerful prescription painkillers with upper cervical chiropractic care.
The Root Causes of Trigeminal Neuralgia
Your doctor doesn’t tell you (or doesn’t know) that trigeminal neuralgia symptoms can be triggered by nerve compression and irritation caused by upper cervical misalignments. Yes, the pain is caused by compression of the trigeminal nerve, but it doesn’t necessarily take invasive surgery on the skull to fix it. (And yes, this is one of the conventional approaches to treating the condition.)
Posture, trauma, or conditions such as MS can aggravate the trigeminal nerve. It can even be caused by a dental procedure that has gone awry. In all instances, a skilled chiropractor for trigeminal neuralgia can typically follow the symptoms back to the root cause problem; the C1 and C2 vertebrae, also known as the upper cervical region. This is a non-invasive, gentle but incredibly powerful route to fixing the issue. No drugs, scalpels or trauma required. Just a very skilled, gentle and understanding chiropractor.

What Happens During Your First Appointment
Firstly, know that you can relax. Your chiropractor for trigeminal neuralgia fully understands the pain of your condition and will do nothing to trigger it. Upper cervical chiropractic is gentle, precise, and never forceful. Rather than touching your face, we head straight to the C1 and C2 vertebrae in your spine because we know that trigeminal neuralgia symptoms very often result from misalignment in the atlas area.
Our patients are often amazed to find that trigeminal neuralgia and chiropractic care go together, but we’re here to show why! When you visit our Ball Ground offices, we will take a full initial consultation and health history, including any medical treatments, procedures, or prescriptions. Your Georgia trigeminal neuralgia chiropractor always develops a tailored care plan with your broader medical history and treatments in mind; we never do anything without considering that entire picture, and our treatment will work hand-in-hand with anything your doctor has prescribed.
Once we’ve taken your detailed history, we carry out gentle neurological checks and posture assessment with light, guided, and minimal movements. Rest assured, we leave all cracking, popping, and forceful movements to the cowboys and those weirdly addictive TikTok videos. Your trigeminal neuralgia treatment will never involve those kinds of theatrics!
We then use cutting-edge imaging technology to make you feel like something from a Marvel film and to detect any misalignments and round off the diagnostic process. Everyone loves this bit! From here, your chiropractor for trigeminal neuralgia will have everything they need to put together a fully tailored and bespoke plan for your needs. Everything’s designed around your needs. No cookie-cutter plans here; we’re better than that!

I have been a chiropractic patient for many years, but have never received the results that I have experienced with Dr Ryan. The upper cervical technique is gentle, comfortable & almost miraculously effective. How could adjusting only one joint at the top of your spine align your entire body. Amazing.

I went to BGUCC after seeing multiple chiropractors for severe pain related to a herniated disc. Not only did I feel relief and gain mobility immediately after treatment, the team was quick to accommodate my schedule, treatment plan and get me back on the road to recovery. This is not your average chiro!

The first time Dr Ryan adjusted me I felt relief. I wasn't able to sit in my car ten minutes without having pain. After the adjustment I rode to Alabama and Florida without pain. Thank you so much.

I found Dr Ryan at Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Ballground through neighbors who were patients of his. I was thrilled to learn that this type of Chiropractic service was available in our area so I scheduled my first appointment and have been going ever since.
This is an amazing type of treatment! This office also has spinal decompression treatment and the "relaxation room with the massage chair" available as well. The spinal decompression has been an important part of my treatment plan and I am having great results.
Dr. Ryan and his staff are very personable, professional and knowledgeable. He definitely knows health and this specialty.
I highly recommend this office if you are looking for excellent Chiropractic care with a twist (no pun intended)! You definitely will be glad you went.

Before visiting Dr. Ryan I was incredibly skeptical of his services. After years of neck and shoulder pain that caused a myriad of muscular and nerve issues throughout my body I was seeking relief that would actually last. Massage therapy, prescription medication, trigger point injections, and another chiropractor had all failed to provide the results I so desperately desired. Dr. Ryan examined my issues by taking measurements and analyzing x-rays in several different positions to accurately determine where my misalignment was located and how best to treat it. He took the time to assess my situation and determine if he could help. This is not your typical walk in crack some spots and hope for relief chiropractor. The treatment you receive is unique to your body and measurements. Dr. Ryan takes the time to explain how all the different systems of the body work together and to provide education about physical and mental wellness. Honestly the level of care I received is unmatched. Erica at the front desk is truly remarkable, Dr. Ryan has a tremendous personality and the skills to back it up. There truly aren’t words to express how grateful I am for his services. My body no longer aches, I am able to enjoy my active lifestyle, and my friends and family are in disbelief at how terrific I feel. I highly encourage anyone experiencing skeletal, neurological, or muscular pain to visit Dr. Ryan and get the relief you absolutely deserve.

Always a great experience. From the time that you walk through the door, see Dr. Ryan, relax in the relaxation room for a half hour and make your next appointment.
Dr Ryan is very knowledgeable and an expert at finding the adjustment that will relieve the pain.
I have refered family to Dr Ryan and they also are very pleased with the results from treatment from Dr Ryan.

Dr. Ryan's stands behind philosophy that body can heal itself and that less is more. He is very knowledgeable, kind and supportive.
I had car accident while pregnant many years ago and my neck issues were never fully addressed, which caused other skeletal issues over years, though I am very athletic and active. I went to many different chiropractors over years, but my body did not want to be adjusted with popping and cracking any more. I started looking for upper cervical chiropractor on my own, by my own intuition guiding me ... and then friend shared her story of her amazing healing with Doctor Ryan. My body is healing, and I feel better than in many years. Many thanks Dr. Ryan!

Dr. Ryan and Corey are a great team that provide an awesome chiropractic experience. The techniques he uses are advanced compared to a regular chiropractor. You actually see how much you are aligned (or misaligned). To get the care you need I would highly recommend a visit to Ball Ground Upper Cervical Chiropractic.

I came in after suffering 3 months of sciatic pain in my left leg Dr Ryan assessed me with x-rays and let me know what he thought he could do for me and within 4 weeks I'm feeling so much better knowing that I'm going to be fully healed within just a couple more weeks. The staff and Dr Ryan are very welcoming and make you feel like part of the family when you're there with them I would recommend them to anyone who's been suffering with pain.

HEALER. After 40 years of struggling with neck pain that had only worsened with time, I can finally say that I have found the relief I've been longing for. In just one appointment, I experienced immediate relief, and now, months later, the pain has subsided, giving me a renewed sense of hope. Dr. Ryan and his team are true professionals, exuding patience and an exceptional depth of knowledge in their field. Their practice is evidently centered around prioritizing the comfort of their patients. I am profoundly grateful to have stumbled upon this practice in North Georgia.

I’ve been visiting Dr. Ryan Klopfer’s office for a few months now and am happy to report that not only have I experienced noticeably less aches and pains, I’m sleeping so much better at night. The team here at Georgia Upper Cervical puts you first. They are sincerely trying to get you back to your best self and actively look to limit the number of visits needed. This is unlike any other chiro I’ve ever visited. In the past, my previous chiropractors tried to get me to come in 2-3 times a week. Once everything is stable, Dr. Klopfer aims for me to come in quarterly which is great. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Ryan's brand of chiropractic care is unlike any I've ever experienced. After he got my initial issue corrected several years ago, he has kept me aligned and pain free with a very minimal maintenance regimen. He is an excellent Chiropractor; I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best solution to their problem in the shortest amount of time.

Dr. Ryan Klopfer and Team are incredible. I recently had knee replacement surgery and found out I had a leg length discrepancy, made worsen by a life time of scoliosis. Dr. Klopfer has vastly improved my quality of life and eliminated my pain and suffering. At the age of 55, I no longer feel like I am 85 years old. I highly recommend Dr. Klopfer's approach, method of treatment and care. A big THANK YOU.
