In Oriental clinics, we treat facial asymmetry in the following manner.
First
step is TMJ adjustment. Patients with clear TMJ disorder symptoms such
as TMJ pain, lockjaw or clicking noises are prescribed with splint to
wear while they sleep in order to balance the TMJ. At the same time,
Chuna chiropractic and acupuncture are administered in the clinic.
Patients are recommended to wear a splint for a minimum of seven hours
per day which helps bring the TMJ back into the right position. The
tension in the muscles and tendons of the TMJ can be relieved with Chuna
chiropractic and acupuncture. Such treatment aims to adjust the twisted
TMJ into its right position and at the same time achieves aesthetic
improvements by alleviating facial asymmetry.
Patients
with asymmetry arising from overdeveloped masseter muscles on one side
due to favoring one side of the mouth when chewing can be treated with
cosmetic acupuncture. Cosmetic acupuncture stimulates the six meridian
systems and the muscles in the face without anesthetics or surgery. It
promotes the rejuvenation of the skin while relaxing the muscles, with
the end-result being lessened asymmetry and smoother jaw line.
