La\u00a0jaw surgery<\/strong>\u00a0(or maxillofacial surgery) is sometimes necessary to correct functional or aesthetic problems, such as jaw misalignment, chronic pain, fractures or the after-effects of complex orthodontic treatment. Accompanied by re-education of the jaw, surgery can improve the patient's health and comfort, but it often entails a delicate recovery period, with pain, stiffness and sometimes loss of mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this context, the\u00a0maxillofacial physiotherapy<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0plays an essential role in rehabilitating the jaw. It accompanies healing and promotes faster, more complete recovery after an injury.\u00a0jaw surgery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is jaw rehabilitation essential after surgery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A jaw surgery<\/strong> can have several immediate consequences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Muscle pain and tension in the face, jaw and neck.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Swelling (oedema) making it difficult to chew or speak.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Limited mouth opening and loss of joint mobility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Difficulty swallowing and sometimes breathing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Without appropriate treatment, these symptoms may persist and delay recovery. Rehabilitation guided by a physiotherapist specialising in maxillo-facial surgery<\/strong> allows these complications to be avoided and normal jaw function to be restored more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n
