TMJ

An individual may develop problems with TMJ for various reasons. Crooked teeth or a deep overbite may cause a stress in the TMJ and strain the muscles of the jaw. The loss of teeth can also create stress on the joint and muscles. Various types of trauma to the head, whiplash injuries, and even poor posture can trigger problems of TMJ. More than a few problems have been caused by the strain of dental surgery, poorly executed orthodontics, or poorly fitted crowns and dentures. Sometimes TMJ symptoms may arise as a result of other physical problems such as a back or neck injury, as well as from excessive stress.

The treatment for TMJ dysfunction must be tailored to the particular needs of the individual. A careful study must be done to clearly define the nature of the problem. This involves a thorough consultation and examination. If there is distortion within the skull, it is corrected by the use of gentle techniques of cranial osteopathic manipulation. Chronic tension in the muscles of the head, neck, and jaw may be relieved by various techniques such as: myofascia release, applied kinesiology, acupuncture, or electronic relaxation therapy. The goal is to bring the TM joint and the muscles of the jaw into a comfortable and healthful balance. Other recommendations include stress reduction, dietary changes, and nutritional supplements. Craniosacral massage therapy may also be beneficial.*
