Orofacial and Craniofacial Pain Management in Bangalore
Orofacial and Craniofacial Pain Management in Bangalore
At the Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic, we focus on the non-surgical management of pain in the orofacial and craniofacial region which is commonly thought of as pain in the jaw, face, neck, and head. Our focus is on determining the source of pain and facilitating the functional movement of the facial and jaw muscles.
What is Orofacial and Craniofacial Pain?
Orofacial pain is pain in the face, mouth, jaws, and head, while the craniofacial region refers to pain involving the muscles, nerves, or joints associated with the head and neck region.
Orofacial pain can result from TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders, muscle strain, nerve compression, bruxism (teeth grinding), postural stress, or trauma. This type of pain can manifest as headaches or migraines, pain with jaw clicking, restricted or limited movement with opening mouth, and tenderness to touch about the face.
In our clinic in Bangalore we will use physiotherapy-based treatment programs that may include manual therapy, soft tissue release, dry needling, and postural correction among other modalities to reduce pain and improve functional movement naturally.

How Does Orofacial Pain Therapy Work?
During your assessment, our physiotherapist will assess the position of the jaw, tenderness of muscles, movement pattern, and posture. Assessment findings will provide the information for a personalized therapy plan with manual therapy, jaw relaxation exercises, electrotherapy, and postural correction. These methods have been shown in clinical practice to decrease muscle tone, improve mouth opening, restore jaw function, and relieve headaches or neck pain associated with TMJ dysfunction.
