I have a patient with a very difficult case of trismus following radiation for tongue and throat cancer that I recently started needling. We received MD clearance before starting. I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with or tips for this sort of thing, as he's only been able to open his mouth about 10mm on his best day even after 8 weeks of prior ROM interventions. I've only done the Foundations course, so I've been sticking to what I can reach by using the zygomatic arch as a bony backdrop plus the greater auricular point.
Thanks!
