I have had blepharospasm for about 7yrs now. It is so frustrating. People always ask me if I wear contacts, if I'm tired, if I've been drinking... to name a few. My last injections left my right eye droopy and it waters constantly. Has anyone found relief with massage therapy? Primarily focusing on the face, head, neck and shoulders? My insurance will cover massage therapy only if it is done by a Dr and not a massage therapist. I can't find any Dr's that do this, hence a catch 22. Insurance covers massage therapy by a Dr, but only a massage therapist does massage therapy. Any suggestions? |

Have you heard of myofascil release ...they are not doctors but they are more than a massage. I dont know if insurance covers it..but it cant hurt to ask ! Ive been going to this for about 10 treatments now and so far it has only had short term affects on me but they have many ideas on how to help. |

Hello,
I have received massage and it has been talked about on the board many times. It feels good and generally helps as a stress relief but no long term effects. As to where to go for it.
Where I live if it goes through the chiropractor's office for billing it will be covered. This is not to say your insurance company will accept it nor the chiropractic office can do this where you live. Have a good day,

I have a physical therapist that does cranial sacral therapy, but she has to call it myofascial release so that it is covered by insurance. It has helped immensely with reducing spasms & pain in my neck related to cervical dystonia. I am actually pretty amazed with the results. So far, it hasn't made any difference with the Bleph, but I've only been receiving the therapy for 1 month. We'll see. I remain cautiously optimistic. Any reduction in pain and discomfort is worth the effort. Em |

You are right about the Catch 22. Hard to figure out how to get around that kind of logic. I have a friend who is a licensed massage therapist and about 18 months ago I had a series of massage sessions with her on my face and neck. It helped tremendously for about one or two hours, a bit longer on the lower face which had really knotted up muscles. But it felt soooo good while it was going on! Joellen |
