๐Ÿ‘€ Check out this self-release technique for the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles, which play a major role in TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). These muscles attach to your sphenoid bone (the butterfly-shaped bone deep in your skull) and are responsible for side-to-side, up-and-down, and forward-backward jaw movement. You may feel some tenderness or even tear up slightly โ€” thatโ€™s totally normal and means the muscle is releasing.

This can be repeated several times a day for relief from:

Itโ€™s one of the most misunderstood pain conditions out there. So letโ€™s clear that upโ€ฆ

๐Ÿค“ The sciatic nerve is the longest and thickest nerve in the body. It forms from five nerve roots in the lower spine, travels through the pelvis and buttocks (under the piriformis muscle), and continues all the way down each leg.

Sciatica symptoms:

๐Ÿ’ฅ Sharp or dull pain in the lower back or leg
๐Ÿ’ฅ Burning, tingling, or numbness
๐Ÿ’ฅ Muscle weakness in the legs or feet
๐Ÿ’ฅ Pain with no back symptoms at all

Sometimes itโ€™s one leg. Sometimes both. Sometimes itโ€™s excruciating โ€” other times itโ€™s just annoying. Hereโ€™s the most important thing:[Text Wrapping Break]

The root cause of your sciatica determines the right treatment โ€” and at Gonstead Physical Medicine, our doctors are trained to find that root and fix it, naturally. ๐ŸŒฑ
