Bruxism and Otalgia n°11 - XIAGUAN POINT

LITTLE FOCUS ON XIAGUAN POINT:

 

According to chinese studies:

Xiaguan point is also an inhibitor of temporalis muscle (but less than Jiache point).

 

Interesant to see different sensitive areas on TMJ and Xiaguan point.

Below the zygomatic arch.

 

We can see the Auriculo-temporal nerve goes to the superficial temporal region (allows 80 % sensitivity condyle of TMJ).

Also, Anesthesiologists use this region, to block the motor nerve of the masseter muscle.

They indicate to us according to the reference given on the photo, that they also have some sensitive roots (although this is a nerve of motricity!).
