TMJ Symptoms and Treatment
A friend of mine loves chocolates. He especially loves chocolates which have been frozen.
My friend's wife, however, suffers from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. Her condition is exacerbated by the cold of the frozen candy. When asked, she was quite eager to share the symptoms of her condition.
Most TMJ sufferers experience the same or similar symptoms but some are always surprising. Or, at least this is what I have found in researching this condition to create my TMJ program.
TMJ is actually just the temporomandibular joint. When people say they suffer from "TMJ" what they mean is that they suffer from a disorder or disorders of the joint.
The TMJ is what allows us to talk, chew and yawn. Located on either side in front of the ears, TMJs are made up of blood vessels, muscles, nerves and bones.
You can find the joint by placing a finger in front of your ear and then by opening and closing the mouth. The jawbones actions are to open and close the mouth, act in a gliding action which allows the mouth to open wide and for acting as a hinge.
TMJ disorder occurs when the joint becomes eroded and slides out of alignment. Certain medical conditions can also cause damage to the cartilage in the joint. A trauma or injury can also cause a disorder.
This condition can also be caused when the joint is over used. This is one of the reasons it's so unhealthy to grind or clench your teeth. In addition to eroding your teeth, it can cause the TMJ disorder. Certain others are born with an irregular development of the joint.
Triggers which can bring on symptoms include: grinding one's teeth, drinking or eating cold things, lack of sleep, poor neck and face posture, exposure to cold air and stress.
TMJ disorders affect women more then men, with the total population affected about 5-15%. Some experts say the number is higher due to cases which go undiagnosed.
Some common symptoms include: Headache (most sufferers complain of this), pain or tenderness in the jaw, earache, pain in the face, clicking sound when opening or closing the mouth accompanied by pain (a clicking sound without pain does not necessarily mean you have TMJ), neck pain and difficulty opening and closing the mouth.
Surgery is rarely required and most of the things that cause this condition can be corrected. For example, your dentist can create a "bite guard" to help you keep from grinding your teeth.
In my friend's case, his wife simply needed to avoid cold food and drink and direct exposure to cold air (cold air increases muscle contraction). I suggested to her that she try my TMJ and it worked! She was able to develop healthy habits to avoid the nasty symptoms of TMJ disorder.
Overwhelming good reviews of my all natural programs such as the aforementioned TMJ program and my Migraine and Headache program has really impressed upon me the need that so many have to find a solution which doesn't involve medication. If this is the case with you, please try my program!
