Digastric Trigger Points Causes and Symptoms

Pain behind your ear or difficulty swallowing? 

Problems occur in the digastic muscle because of habitual mouth breathing, which often occurs from chronic sinus problems or nasal blockage. This may also occur when woodwind instruments are played as the mandible is often brought back to form the embouchure.

 Trigger points or muscle stiffness in this muscle can cause throat pain and difficulty when swallowing.
