Im just curious.. Ive been working out my orbital muscles a lot lately.. And my supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve feels very inflamed so to speak (I didnt know about this until I started to work this area out).. As for tinnitus, working in the area of those nerves have an impact on my tinnitus. It sometimes stops for a couple of milliseconds, it triggers fleeting tinnitus and sometimes adds a new sound which is a very distinct low, solid hum which goes away in a few seconds.. After I did exercises of the eyebrow (where the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve passes) I got some serious weird stuff happening as far as sensations in the face.. It felt as if a spider web had got stuck on my face for a while..
Have any of you tried to pay any attention to those nerves and muscles? Kind of curious if you would experience something similar..
As far as neck exercises.. Have you tried lying flat on the floor / bed, turn your head to the right or left as far as you can then elevate your head in this position? It seems to work out the anterior scalenes, levator scapulae and the SCM pretty good.
After I did those exercises for a couple of days my tinnitus has changed in quality and my Auricularis anterior (the muscle anterior to the ear) has gotten very sore and I have no idea why..
I have also found that when Im stressed out or focus my eyes on a computer monitor, the way I tense up the muscles around my eyes makes the posterior portion of occipitalis to contract, just behind my ears.. It has been in a static state of muscle tension all the time.. I dont think its good.. I found that elevating my eyebrows did inhibit this contraction of occipitalis.
The supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve can be found in the eyebrow region and the lower part of the forehead.
A google search of the nerves above will provide a few good images as well.
Applewine: Not sure if its caused by bad occlusion.. Interesting videos btw
