5 ways to avoid Headaches & TMJ

TMJ statistics
Statistic #1: 1 out of every 12 people in the United States are currently affected by a TMJ disorder. That’s 12% of the country’s population and equals about 35 million people. This number may be higher due to improper and undiagnosed cases.

Statistic #2: TMJ disorders are four times more common in women than it is for men.

Statistic #3: More than 90% of patients who are seeking treatment for their TMJ disorder are women in their childbearing years.

Statistic #4: Only about 50 to 60% of people with a TMJ disorder will seek treatment. Those who don’t get treatment continue to live with painful side effects. In fact, 15% of those left untreated will even develop a chroni (http://www.deardoctor.com/inside-the-magazine/issue-25/chronic-jaw-pain-and-associated-conditions/) c TMJ disorder.

Statistic #5: It is estimated that for every 100 million working adults in the United States, TMJ disorders contribute to 17.8 million lost work days annually.

Avoiding Headaches & TMJ

Step 1: Avoiding Forward Head Posture
Forward Head Posture pulls on your suprahyoid muscles, which pulls your mandible posteriorly, and that will compress the temporomandibular joint causing pain.

Step 2: Avoid para-functiononal behaviors
No chewing on pencils, biting nails etc..

Step 3: Proper oral positioning
Lips closed, tongue to the palate, breath through the nose.

Step 4: Avoid Food Allergens
A stuffy nose at bedtime will make swallowing difficult, nasal obstruction, mouth breathing and that can cause clenching.

Step 5: Protect your eye posture
If you read in bed or watch TV make sure that you are not tilting your head too far back or forward, and that screens are centered so that your neck can be in a rested position.

Solar Eclipse Aug 21st, 2017

Tomorrow we will experience a Solar Eclipse, see times of the eclipse below.

Basic steps for feeling better. Forward Head Posture contributes to TMD Symptoms. However, changing our posture is not easy, it can take months until it becomes habit. So don't give up! Baby steps starting with 1 min of good posture, building up to extended periods.

Step 1: Chin Tucks
Tuck your chin to your chest and elongate the back of the neck throughout the day. Start with 1 min periods and build up to longer periods as tolerated

Step 2: Tongue to the spot
Place your tongue to the spot on the roof of your mouth. Try to maintain the position throughout the day and when going to sleep. Start with 1 min periods and build up to longer periods as tolerated.

Step 3: Correct Forward Head
Position head over the shoulders, shoulders back with chin tucked. Hold the position for 1 min periods and build up to longer periods as tolerated
