#OMCase1 update!

I suspected the patient’s symptoms were mostly caused by myofascial pain caused by multiple dental procedures completed in a short timeframe +altered occlusion. We sent her to PT with an emphasis in craniofacial exercises and dry needling to break up the persistent muscle knots

She’s currently taking cymbalta per her primary doc to help with the anxiety but stated that it hasn’t really done much either (she’s on week 4 of it)

So what’s going on?

Feel free to chime in with theories and I’ll update you later on how I approach this case!
