What is a nucca chiropractor and have you healed completely yet?

[@jenniferschauf4970]

This is great information. I've always wondered if their is a connection with my tmj and now horrific pain with trigemenal neuralgia..

[@ReviveUCC]

Hi Jennifer, So sorry to hear about your situation. I think there is certainly a connection. I would recommend searching up a qualified doc in your region. ucreferral.com is a good place to start. Feel free to email me with a few options that you find and I would be happy to help you hone in to a provider from there. Dr. B

Hello good afternoon Dr!! Thank you for the great video I just left you a voicemail. I was wondering if you had an Instagram, I wanted to talk to you through there.

I tried chiro and physio. Not feeling better.Doctor have asked me to do orthodontic treatment.Could you please tell whether the above problems can be corrected with braces?

[@adrygon2691]

Do you know of an expert on trigeminal neuralgia in Mexico City? Maybe a chiropractor?

[@ReviveUCC]

We can only suggest, for Upper cervical Chiropractic, to try UCREFERRAL.COM or UpperCervicalCare.com Hope this helps?!

[@wesporter2176]

@@user-zk8ck3my3l They don't really claim to be all they do is try to get rid of the impediments to your body's own healing potential. Many doctors are like experts in say toxic waste disposal if our society didn't produce toxic material we wouldn't need them. If our bodies didn't produce toxic disease we wouldn't need experts in it.

Amazing video, do you have any reccomendations for tmj treatment in australia?

Hi Nathan, there is an excellent UC doctors in Australia actually. Dr. Jeff Hannah is in Brisbane and his clinic is called Atlas Health Chiropractic I believe. All the best!

Hi there! Sorry for the delay in response. Everyone is different. Our recommendation would be to see who is in your region at www.ucreferral.com or www.icauppercervical.com After you have 1 or 2 options, email Dr. Bulow at [e-mail] and he can give you his advice on which would be best. All the best! The Revive UCC team.

[@kennethmoore3783]

Information regarding trigeminal neuralgia is not accurate. See a neurologist first. Classic trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder characterized by recurrent unilateral brief electric shock-like pains abrupt in onset and termination limited to the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. The maxillary and mandibular branches are most often affected. The sharp or electrical paroxysms last seconds to minutes and may occur in rapid succession. Painful attacks may be followed by a brief refractory period. The pain is often triggered by innocuous stimuli (eg, a simple touch, washing, or shaving the skin) or simple facial movements (eg, eating, drinking, smiling or talking). In some cases, the pain can be triggered by other sensory stimuli, such as bright lights, particular tastes, and loud noises. Over time the attacks can become more frequent and disabling.

[@ReviveUCC]

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I am sure Dr. Bulow would be curious as to what parts of the video are inaccurate, as it appears that what you are saying here is not in conflict with what he is saying here. Sometimes clinicians have insights in to how these conditions work "in real life" etc. Either way, we hope that this video brings value to those looking for help. PS: Dr. Bulow works closely with a TN neurosurgeon in Pittsburgh, and both would agree that anyone with TN should see a neurologist to rule out medical causes to TN. This video is especially for those that have already been to the neurologist, and are faced with a lifetime of medications, or the potential for surgery, and are looking for alternative forms of management. All the best, The Revive Team

Hi there! Our best recommendation is to look on UCReferral.com and then email Dr. Bulow at [e-mail] with the 1-2 closest clinics to you! Dr. Bulow can then tell you who he would recommend. Best wishes.

[@rubsydos]

why other chiropractors never learn this?my money lost trying 3/4 chiro doctors...no body did....now i m helpless...i cannot go overseas...

[@ReviveUCC]

Sorry to hear about your struggles. The answer to that question is a long one, and probably not best for this forum. You can try uppercervicalcare.com to see if there are any UC doctors in your area.

[@mv8908]

Prolotherapy is another option

[@ReviveUCC]

While it is not a replacement for neck realignment, it certainly works well in conjunction with it. We encourage some of our patients to undergo prolotherapy for sure. Thanks for the insight and comment!

[@user-zk8ck3my3l]

It can also do real damage to some also

[@JacksonStar4757]

@@user-zk8ck3my3l how is that? Prolotherapy is one of the safest non surgical procedures out there. I've been getting my neck treated at Caring Medical and I've gotten so much better but I need my tmj done too bc like he said in this video it's like the upper cervical and the tmj kinda go hand in hand

[@blackasian6274]

Can you have it on both side, they tend to switch side sometime.

[@ReviveUCC]

Absolutely. The body is a complex organism, as as a result, will very often not fit a text book description for any given condition.
