Significant neck pain due to pain and spasm in the neck can tug and pull on the facial nerve to irritate it.
The facial nerve supplies most of the muscles of the face.
The facial nerve comes out from the skull at the stylomastoid foramen to enter the face.
Patients may note facial muscle twitching around the eye, nose and lips in the earliest stages of the facial nerve irritation.
Always consult your physician for the cause of the facial twitching.
If the irritation is significant enough, paralysis of the facial muscles can occur.
Facial muscle paralysis due to facial nerve irritation from muscle spasms may be of the reversible or permanent type.
In fact concurrently, there are nerve fibers which are reversible and there are some nerve fibers which have already progressed to the permanent injury status.
The goal of eToims Twitch Relief Method in facial paralysis is to return as much function as possible by beginning treatments within the first 24 hours.
The twitch movements can stimulate the muscles, frees the entrapped intramuscular nerves and blood vessels and aid in the return of circulation to the areas stimulated.
If the facial nerve injury is primarily that of partial neurapraxia, return of function is facilitated and recovery can be complete.
eToims Twitch Relief Method can be used for support of nerve recovery if the facial nerve injury has already progressed to permanent paralysis.
In addition to stimulating the facial muscles, muscles supplied by the C3 through C8 nerve roots as well as the paraspinal muscles from the skull to the base of the spine have to be included with the eToims Twitch Relief Method.
