The Masseter Muscle

Masseter trigger points are significant contributors to headaches
A forward-head posture places the mandible in a position that puts the masseter under undue stress.
Antagonist muscles, such as the geniohyoid, omohyoid, and digastric, can all become spastic as a result of overtraining of the abdominal muscles using poor technique.
This in turn may inhibit the masseter, with resulting trigger point formation to provide stiffness or tension within the muscle.

Changes in associated suboccipital muscles lead to changes in homeostasis of the head and face muscles.A change in the positioning of the temporomandibular joint will also affect the position of the cervical spine. Correct alignment of the temporomandibular joint requires treatment of the masseter and pterygoids at the local level, with attention to core efficiency at the global level.

The masseter is a complex muscle, and pain is referred into the eyebrow, maxilla, mandible (anterior), and upper and lower molar teeth.
Any person with a toothache will rightly go to a dentist.With no obvious pathology presenting, it is in the patient’s best interests to rule out the possibility of referred pain from trigger points being at the root of the pain. Other related sensations include hypersensitivity to pressure and temperature changes (e.g. during flights). Pain and changes in sensations can also refer into the temporomandibular joint and inner ear.

Remember also that masseter trigger points are significant contributors to headaches.
