How it works
Reduces trigger point activity in masseter and temporalis muscles. Stimulates endogenous opioid release that reduces facial pain sensitivity. May modulate trigeminal nucleus caudalis activity.
Most evidence for muscle-based facial pain (myofascial TMD). Less evidence for joint-based TMD or trigeminal neuralgia. Choose AHPRA-registered practitioner.
