Trigeminal Nerve is one of the largest cranial nerves. This nerve provides sensation to the face, as well as motor innervates ion to the masseter muscle, the strongest muscle in our body (jaw). It also, however, does another powerful thing: innervates the tentorium and fallx in the cranium the thickening of the dura or meninges, and therefore has a direct effect on intracranial pressure and nervous system tension throughout the body. 

In this episode, we explore the anatomy and anatomical relationships of the trigeminal nerve and its role in autonomic nervous system balance. I share my favorite treatment techniques and why this nerve is one of the nerves I treat very often.
