Facial symptoms are TOS are related. Mystifies me how some Doctors do not see a correlation. Muscle tension effects the facets of the cervical spine and puts pressure on the cranial nerves.

My face symptoms flare when my neck tension increases. Occiput-C2 (maybe even C3) kick my face into high gear. I recently went without PT for 3 weeks and my face took the brunt of it. C2 was inflamed on the left side, so I applied a topical medication of Diclofenac and DMSO. It helped somewhat until I got home, but manual PT to loosen the tension is the best and is resolving it.
