First, know that you’re not alone and we’re very glad you’re here.

We look forward to providing and coordinating the support system you need in order to meet the challenges of facial paralysis, TMD (jaw symptoms), and their related conditions. Tens of thousands of men, women, and children are diagnosed each year with facial paralysis and an estimated 10 million Americans are affected by symptoms related to TMD. Postural dysfunctions can create multiple problems throughout the body. The Center for Facial and Functional Recovery (CFFR) offers a wide range of cutting-edge solutions. We believe that early intervention, a whole-body approach, and coordinated care are the keys to recovery.

Thankful to have found this wonderful group

I have been going to the [CFFR] about every week for one and a half years now and have made significant improvements. …I am now able to close my eye, read, and drive without pain. I am just thankful to have found this wonderful group of people who are there for people like me who have no idea what to do when this happens to them.
