Chiropractors primarily focus on the musculoskeletal system and may help alleviate some symptoms associated with trigeminal neuralgia through spinal adjustments and other manual therapies. However, they do not treat the underlying causes of the condition, which often involves nerve irritation or damage. It's essential for individuals with trigeminal neuralgia to consult with a medical doctor or neurologist for a comprehensive treatment plan. Chiropractic care can be complementary, but it should not replace conventional medical treatment.

Can a chiropractor refuse you treatment if you refuse to attend an after hours meeting?
I am a chiropractor. A chiropractor doesn't have to do business with you if he doesn't want to (unless you try to claim patient abandonment-which usually doesn't work.) If, however, he isn't willing to treat you because of some unreasonable demand of his, such as requiring you to attend some after hours meeting, you can always send a complaint to the state chiropractic board. It is then likely that they will instruct this chiropractor to cease any such unprofessional activities.
