Face pain

[MrPhysio+]

This problem sounds like a branch of the facial nerve is being irritated. Deep massage along the path of the branches around the TMJ, ear, and cheek can be of assistance. Using the finger (patients) inside the cheek to provide a stretch may help. Trigger point dry needling has also been useful (not acupuncture), when used into the facial muscles.

hi guys
i feel a detailed assessment of the patient is needed to come to a definite diagnosis.her posture,eg forward head posture,any maloclusion of teeth,recent dental problems,ear infections,tender points on palpation,parafunctional behaviours,psychological factors,stress in life,24 hour behaviour of pain,eg whether pain is at early morning-which gives clue to nocturnal teeth grindingwhile asleep.
