Facial pain syndrome: IMO, the cause this pain within the muscles, tendons, connective tissues. So the treatment is to focus the therapy on the muscles, heat, stretching, massage the shoulders neck jaw face and scalp. Formal name trigeminal neuralgia. Tx = wellness, stretching, yoga and massage. Acupuncture is my fav!
