Description

Myofascial pain is a common cause of chronic facial and jaw discomfort, often resulting from muscle strain, poor posture, or teeth grinding (bruxism). Patients experience localized pain, muscle stiffness, and tender trigger points in the jaw and facial muscles. Treatment options include: 1. Myofascial release therapy to relax tight muscles and improve circulation. 2. Oral appliances or night guards to reduce strain caused by teeth grinding. 3. Stretching and strengthening exercises to improve muscle function. 4. Pain management strategies, including medications or dry needling.
