- TMJ (Temporo Mandabular Joint)
Millions
of people have suffered from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Among them patients report chronic headache, difficulty
opening mouth and ‘clicking’ sounds. At
the same time lots of people also have experienced bruxism (grinding teeth when
sleeping). Who do you look for
treatments when you have TMJ issue? Nowadays
so many people get the information from web-sites. What are your results of searching? Dentists?
Acupuncture? or What else? The more you
search for TMJ treatment options the more disappoints you may have.
When
you get consultation with dentists they suggest jaw movement education, x-ray
taking, night guard, and/or referral to oral surgeons.
When
you see oral surgeons you will be very surprised due to expensive costs, and
surgical procedures. After you accept
big sacrifices if your TMJ issue will be resolved clearly it may be worth. However, there is no 100% guarantee and the
surgical procedure is non-reversible damages.
When
you see acupuncturist, they will do acupuncture needling on your face. Feels like your TMJ pain relieves at that
moment. However, many people feel
recurrent pain and discomfort due to misalignments of TMJ. TMJ is a joint’s problem. Acupuncture needling can not restore joint
misalignments. The treatment is for muscle treatment, not joints. Of course TMJ can be caused by muscle
conditions. If your TMJ is due to the
muscle issue acupuncture treatments may work for you.
And
then, what can you consider for TMJ treatment then? As I mentioned above TMJ pain is closely
related to joint misalignments. Some of you have got chiropractic treatments. They
insert their fingers into your mouth and rub muscles near your molar
teeth. It is very uncomfortable with vomiting
sensation (I do not rub your muscles. Do not worry about it!).
These
are various treatments that many patients have experienced.
However,
do not be disappointed it. I do have actual solutions for TMJ patients. My
treatments have provided instant outcomes such as no headache, no treatment
pain, and no or less clicking sound. You
can open your mouth widely and freely instantly after my treatments. It is non-invasive and non-surgical procedure
with cost effective comparing to oral surgery.
Even if your TMJ is fixed on the same day, it may go back again. We do repeat treatments a couple of times if
needed. After I fix your TMJ position by
my chiropractic treatment I encourage and advise you to see a dentist. Ask your dentist to order ‘night guard’ to
keep the TMJ in its proper position. At
least you need to utilize night guard for one year with jaw exercises. If you have night guard without joint
fixation it may make your TMJ condition worse.
My
suggestion is that if you are TMJ and/or pseudo-TMJ patients (mild TMJ
dysfunction), adjust your TMJ position first.
If
your condition is also involved with muscles acupuncture treatment and/or Botox
injection is considered, and then utilize your own night guard along with jaw
exercises. I strongly believe that it is
a right procedure to fix your TMJ problem without any damages based upon my
clinical experiences for 18 years. If all of these treatments are not working
for you, and then consider having an oral surgery.
