Treatment of Eagle Syndrome

Eagle Syndrome treatment often begins with a thorough assessment by a specialist, such as an otolaryngologist (ENT) or a maxillofacial surgeon, who is experienced in diagnosing this rare condition. Radiology plays a critical role in confirming the presence of an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament, typically through imaging studies like X-rays, CT scans, or 3D reconstructions. However, once the diagnosis is established, non-surgical options may be explored to manage symptoms effectively.

Physical therapy (PT)

PT is a valuable component of Eagle Syndrome treatment, particularly for managing pain and improving function. A physical therapist, especially one specializing in temporomandibular disorders (TMD/TMJ), can help alleviate muscle tension in the neck, face, and jaw areas that are often aggravated by the condition. 


Through manual therapy techniques, stretching exercises, and targeted muscle release, a physical therapist can help reduce the strain on the surrounding muscles and joints, which may, in turn, decrease pain and discomfort.


A comprehensive physical therapy program may also include exercises to improve posture, enhance muscle balance, and strengthen the muscles around the neck and shoulders.
