Trigeminal Neuralgia
Physical Therapies
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) may help to decrease your pain. A TENS unit is a small device that stimulates nerves with tiny, safe amounts of electrical current. You apply skin electrodes (patches) to your skin. The electrodes are connected to the TENS unit with wires. The electric current goes from the TENS unit to the wires and through the skin patches. The electric current travels into your nerves and breaks up abnormal pain messages.
The Feldenkrais Method
The Feldenkrais method is a type of bodywork that uses gentle movements to promote personal awareness of the body, increase flexibility and improve coordination. One of the key philosophies of the Feldenkrais method is that there is no separation between the mind and body and that, as the body strengthens and gains new forms of movement, the mind will also strengthen and improve.
Unlike manipulative physical therapies such as massage or Rolfing, Feldenkrais practitioners generally view the work as a way to expand one’s knowledge of self and promote the connection between the mind and the body. Classes – called “Awareness through Movement” – focus on teaching small, precise movements that can be beneficial to people of all fitness levels and abilities. One-on-one Feldenkrais is called “Functional Integration.” Many people find the experience relaxing and helpful.
