Chronic Periorbital Neuralgia

Posting for Lolane.

Patient: 68-year-old female

Chief Complaint:

• Left-sided periorbital neuralgia for approximately 2 years.
• No history of trauma or identifiable mechanism of onset.

Symptoms:

• Random, sharp “zapping” sensations both superior and inferior to the left orbit.
• Episodes are brief but frequent and bothersome.
• Pain can occur spontaneously without any apparent trigger.

Mechanical Triggers:
Palpation or light touch can reliably reproduce symptoms in several areas, including:

• Along the nasolabial fold
• Frontal sinus/supraorbital region
• Above the left eye

Activities of daily living that commonly trigger the pain include:

• Washing her face
• Touching her face
• Brushing her teeth
• Rubbing alongside her nose
• Occasionally blinking

Treatment Attempted:
Thus far I have tried:

• Upper quarter perfusion techniques
• Temporalis treatment
• Facial nerve treatment
• Motor point needling of the periocular musculature
• Craniosacral therapy
• Fascial release of the temporal, maxillary, and frontal regions

Response:
She has experienced mild improvement in the frequency of the “zaps,” but the symptoms remain persistent and continue to significantly affect daily activities.

@Exstoreman any advice on this?

Anthony's 51 patient day

Anthony chronicled his 51-patient day.

No matter how many patients you want to see, how many days a week you want to work, whatever your goals are...EXSTORE™ gives you the ability to see more patients in less time while getting even better results.

50 today, 50 three days ago

You can see as many patients as you want if you learn the Exstore system to the level that you master it. And the best way to master it is come to the clinical intensive this October. There’s two spots left and there’s nothing that can replace this intensive learning experience . You will treat over 60 patients in two days. There’s nothing else like it and no other instructor anywhere in the world is offering anything close to this.

Spinal Stroke

I have a patient who had a spinal stroke at C3-4. He has numbness and tingling through his left arm and leg, weakness in left glutes. I have done upper and lower perfusion treatment on him twice a week for the last 3 mos. He has had some improvement. Should I also be doing any local channel points, scalp points? Anything else other than perfusion?

I saw 175 patients this week.

There are 2 seats left in my Clinical Intensive this Oct 3-4 at my office. Read the outline and register here:https://aseseminars.com/event/clinical-intensive-training-course-at-dr-lombardis-clinic-in-hamilton-ontario-2/
