This very painful, little known illness is even new to some medical professionals. Striking Back explains it in terms that are easy to understand and very helpful to both laymen and doctors. This book is a very important one to read for anyone suffering with facial pain. The pros and cons of many treatment plans are explained by a doctor and a man who had the illness.

A voice of reason and options emergesReviewed by Kathy A. Taylor, 2006-10-01
When I was first diagnosed with TN, I was confused by a deluge of information. Weigel gently guides the reader through well-presented discussion of the neurological disorder and its treatments, both medical and alternative. A good choice for anyone who has or knows someone with trigeminal neuralgia.
LifesaverReviewed by Sarah P. Murphy, 2005-10-04
This book took me to Dr. Casey in Pgh and saved my life. It
explained there were other alternatives than to live with the
terrible pain. I have bought 4 copies of this book and have given
it to people that are dealing with TN, as well as loaned out my
copy. I feel the author knows how much help he has been as he also
suffers from the condition.

Open minded expert adviceReviewed by J. J. Ierano, 2005-09-08
As a chiropractor I was fascinated at the wide array of treatments explored for this debilitating condition. The chapter on upper cervical chiropractic vindicated what many chiropractors have found with patients who respond to this specialty form of chiropractic. After actually meeting him in Australia, I was amazed to discover that Dr Casey is one of the most prominent neurosurgical specialists, carrying out thousands of successful surgeries on TN sufferers. A must for sufferers and supportive network members, who are looking for "whatever works" and not just what your average doctor might believe.
