Do you or someone you love suffer from TMJ disorder? TMJ disorder, also known as temporomandibular joint dysfunction, is a condition that affects the jaw joint and the muscles around it. It can cause pain, clicking, popping, and other symptoms.
Causes: Trauma to the jaw- Bruxism (teeth grinding)- Clenching the jaw- Stress- Misalignment of the bite- Arthritis- Autoimmune disorders.
Symptoms: Pain in the jaw, face, or head- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth - Headache- Earache -Ringing in the ears- Dizziness
Massage therapy helps TMJ by releasing muscle tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders, which reduces pain, inflammation, and headaches often associated with TMJ disorders. It improves blood circulation, breaks up muscle adhesions, deactivates trigger points, and enhances joint mobility. Techniques can include gentle kneading, stretching, and friction of the facial, jaw, and neck muscles, and can be performed through self-massage or by a professional therapist.
