Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | My PT who was treating me for lymph drainage and a back problem is also a specialist in treating trismus. I had mild trismus at the time so he treated that also. My treatment included moist heat and intra/extra oral massage of the face muscles. This is a problem that only gets worst. Why your doctors are not referring you to someone is a total mystery. Keep trying.
Take care,
