Introduction:
Trigeminal neuralgia is one of the most severe types of pain in the face and jaw area. People who have experienced this type of pain often struggle to find relief. The good news is that chiropractors have had success helping people find relief for trigeminal neuralgia by addressing spine problems at the C3 vertebral level.
Nerves that go through the C3 vertebrae can cause symptoms in the cheeks, outer ear, face bones, teeth, and trifacial nerve. The symptoms can include neuralgia, neuritis, acne or pimples, eczema, to name a few.
As a Linwood chiropractor we can evaluate the health and position of the C3 vertebrae. This helps determine if C3 is moving properly and protecting the nerves that enter and exit.
What C3 Nerves Control

The nerves originating from the C3 vertebra innervate, bring nerve flow and life to the branches of the cervical plexus and dorsal rami of the cervical spinal nerves.
The C3 vertebrae is also part of nerve plexuses, which are a group of nerves from different vertebral levels that come together. C1, C2, and C3 come together to form the trigeminal plexus.
C3 Nerve Muscle Innervation
These C3 nerves innervate the trapezius for shoulder movement and neck stability, and the levator scapulae for scapular elevation and neck support.
Neck problems can lead to decreased range of motion, tightness, and/or pain in the neck and upper back muscles. A chiropractor Linwood, NJ can help determine which cervical levels are involved and how to restore health to those areas.
What Symptoms can occur if the C3 Bones Aggravates the C3 Nerves?
Irritation to these C3 nerves, caused by the C3 vertebrae can cause trigeminal neuralgia, neuritis, acne or pimples, eczema and problems with cheeks, outer ear, face bones, teeth, and trifacial nerve.
Spine Model Adjustment:
The C3 vertebra is the third bone down from the top of your spine, right under the bottom of your skull. By addressing the health of the C3 vertebrae you can influence the health and potential of the nerves that are protected by the C3 vertebrae. Getting an adjustment on an unhealthy C3 vertebrae from a Linwood Chiropractor can restore health and proper nerve communication.
If you Struggle to Find Relief, Consider a C3 Evaluation
At a Linwood Chiropractor, Fresh Start Chiropractic you can receive a thorough evaluation of your spine. If you have struggled to find relief for symptoms like trigeminal neuralgia, neuritis, acne or pimples, eczema or problems with cheeks, outer ear, face bones, teeth, and trifacial nerve, this is a great place to start. The spine has the greatest impact on every area of your health.
It is like the fuse box in your house. Before you replace the refrigerator, stove, and microwave, you would check the fuse box to make sure the power is on or the dimmer switch is up, if we were talking about lighting. The same is true for your body, you want to make sure the nerves are not dimmed by the spine, which can be the cause of many different symptoms.
With a chiropractic exam, x-rays if necessary, and an adjustment plan to adjust and restore health to the C3 vertebrae and nerves, normal function and health can be restored. Resolving C3 vertebrae problems can help you find relief for symptoms you have been struggling with for years.
Conclusion:
Understanding the nerve pathways from the C3, the third cervical vertebrae, is crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the head and neck region, like trigeminal neuralgia, neuritis, acne or pimples, eczema and problems with cheeks, outer ear, face bones, teeth, and trifacial nerve.
Anytime you improve the alignment and health of the C3 vertebrae you are improving the health of the nerves that go through the C3 bone, and ultimately the health of every cell, organ, and tissue that is innervated by those nerves.
