Trigeminal Neuralgia Treatment for Lovejoy, GA
Board-certified neurosurgical care for Lovejoy residents living with trigeminal neuralgia. Same-week appointments, MRI reviews, and minimally invasive options when surgery is right for you.
Why Lovejoy patients choose Nova for trigeminal neuralgia
If you live in Lovejoy, Clayton County, and you've been dealing with trigeminal neuralgia, your first instinct may be to look toward a downtown Atlanta hospital system. Many of our Lovejoy patients have quietly made a different choice: Nova Brain and Spine of GA, the practice of Dr. Jerry Walters II and Dr. Marcus Stephens, headquartered 5 miles away in Hampton. The trip is shorter, the parking is free, and the surgeon who reviews your MRI is the same surgeon who will perform your procedure if one is needed.
Relief for trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and other chronic facial pain conditions. For Lovejoy residents, we structure care around three principles: get you evaluated quickly, exhaust non-surgical options first, and — if surgery is right for you — use the smallest, least-disruptive approach that will give you lasting relief.
Symptoms we hear most from Lovejoy patients
- Sudden, severe shock-like facial pain
- Pain triggered by touching face, chewing, speaking
- Pain on one side of the face
- Episodes lasting seconds to minutes
- Pain-free intervals between attacks
How we treat trigeminal neuralgia
Depending on your imaging, exam findings, and how long you've been symptomatic, Stephens will discuss the treatment options best suited to you:
- Medication management
- Microvascular decompression (MVD)
- Stereotactic radiosurgery coordination
- Percutaneous rhizotomy
