If you wake up with headaches and your dentist
keeps telling you to wear a night guard —
read this. 👇
Your jaw muscles are some of the most
powerful muscles in your body relative to
their size. And when they develop trigger points —
from clenching, grinding, stress, or trauma —
their referred pain patterns are brutal.
The masseter muscle refers pain to:
→ The temple (mimics tension headache)
→ The upper and lower teeth (mimics tooth pain)
→ The ear (mimics ear infection)
→ The cheekbone and jaw
The temporalis muscle refers pain to:
→ The entire side of the head
→ Above the eyebrow
→ The upper teeth
→ The temporal region
Countless patients have had dental procedures,
ENT evaluations, and neurology referrals
for pain that was coming from a jaw
muscle trigger point the entire time.
Dry needling the masseter and temporalis
trigger points produces a Local Twitch Response —
forcing these chronically contracted muscles
to release, restoring jaw range of motion,
and interrupting the referred pain pathway.
Results that surprise people every time.
