Do you suffer from any of the following?
These symptoms are among the many issues related to what is known as TMJ Disorder. There are several ways to treat and relieve the pain you are feeling – massage has proven to be the most non-intrusive and effective for long-term results.
Massage can heal and release soft tissues (muscles), relieving pain and reducing the symptoms caused by problems around the jaw joint. This is achieved by treating trigger points around the jaw, neck, and shoulders.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint connecting your mandible (jawbone) to the temporal bone of your skull, located in front of your ear. This joint and its associated muscles allow us to move our jaw up and down and side to side to talk, eat, yawn, laugh, and more.
Problems with this joint and its muscles are known as TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder), which can cause:
Massage can address the root cause of TMJ disorders. Whether the pain stems from a jaw injury or fatigue from repeatedly grinding or clenching your teeth, regular massage therapy can make a significant difference.
After assessing your TMJ, I will work on the muscles in your neck, chest, head, upper shoulders, and the muscles around your jaw (the muscles of mastication). This includes some intraoral work using a gloved finger.
The TMJ massage protocol I follow has been developed by dental nurses and has been practiced successfully for over a decade. Additionally, I offer acupuncture and teach self-care practices to support your healing and recovery.
Did you know that everything in your body is connected? The neck and jaw have a particularly close relationship, meaning tension in your neck and shoulders often refers tension into your jaw.
After your first treatment, you will feel a difference, but due to the chronic nature of TMJ disorders, ongoing treatment is required for at least 6 weeks. This recommendation is based on my clinical experience treating clients with TMJ.
