Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I have regular chiropractic care, but i did go to another one on Thursday who showed me exercises to do on the muscles INSIDE my mouth in jaw area that seem to be helping with expanding range of motion and lessening pain i was experiencing in ears and in muscles when yawning etc. It's interesting, but it has to do with putting pressure in the belly of the muscle so the spindle cells will start to " tell the muscle " to work on getting back to where it should be. he said those muscles have really atrophied. I think the muscles are the internal and external Pterygoid muscles. Up until this point i was using moist heat on the outside of my face and then massaging those muscles, on the advice of my surgeon. NOT the muscles i should have been working. Since i am still in bands 4 months later, i needed to get some serious muscle action. This has been great and it's only been 3 days.
