How It Works

This specialized service supports patients experiencing jaw-related tension, TMJ dysfunction, or recovery after facial nerve conditions such as Bell's Palsy. Our treatments aim to improve muscle function, reduce discomfort, and encourage balanced movement through targeted acupuncture and supportive therapies.

Using precise needle placement and gentle techniques, we work to restore proper nerve function, reduce inflammation, and support the natural healing process. Our approach combines traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern understanding of facial anatomy and neuromuscular rehabilitation.
