TMJ pain can be relieved by reducing stress, relaxing the facial muscles and relieving tension from deep within your jaw.

About TMJ

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and it's muscle disorders are a group of painful conditions that affect the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movements. Injury plays a role in some TMJ problems, but for many people, symptoms seem to start without obvious reason.

The good news is that for most people, pain in this area is not a signal of a serious problem. Generally, discomfort is occasional and temporary and will go away with little or no treatment. In the majority of cases, doctors suspect stress as the underlying factor.

Do you grind or clinch your teeth?

If you answered yes, stress is mostly likely the source of your TMJ. When TMJ jaw pain stems from stress related issues, massage and trigger point therapy may provide some pain relief. Even if symptoms persist, most patients do not need aggressive types of treatment.

IMPORTANT : There can be many reasons for jaw pain symptoms labeled as TMJ. No wonder it's so often misdiagnosed. If your jaw pain does not improve with relaxation and TMJ massage, we strongly suggest that you get a second medical opinion. Jaw pain can be a sign of serious bacterial or fungal infection, or even Lyme disease. All be very serious if left untreated.
