TMJ Nerves

POP! There it goes again! You opened your mouth at dinner and your jaw advertised the fact in an audible sound. It may cause no pain yet, or it may be instigating you severe pain. Maybe it started subsequent to your finest friend struck you on the jaw for your birthday. Maybe it just snuck up on you. This is a order called TMJ, or more specifically, temporomandibular joint syndrome. There are perhaps 11 million people in the USA that deal with this syndrome that describes the net effect of what can often be a series of problems.TMJ Nerves

In TMJ syndrome, the joint of the jaw is out of alignment causing abusive pressures on the joint. It can be associated with muscle spasms, torn ligaments in the joint, and wearing down of the bone of the joint. This can lead to osteoarthritis and terrible pain throughout the body. The good news is that it is correctable. Let me list some of the factors that can contribute to TMJ syndrome. This list is not exhaustive. Bad teeth that don't fit together right, a misaligned atlas (the first bone in the neck), a misaligned collarbone, trauma to the head that has knocked the jaw out of position, poor habits of using the jaw (such as grinding the teeth).

Whatever the cause of it, TMJ is rarely a simple problem to fix and requires careful diagnosis to identify the contributing factors. One of the aggressive treatments, and irreversible, is surgery to cut the nerves transmitting pain. Other treatments may be muscle relaxants or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Cranial Osteopathic doctors have identified factors in the misaligned bones of the skull that contribute to TMJ syndrome. TMJ Nerves

Some other treatments that may be more fun include biofeedback to reduce muscle tension, and physical therapy to strengthen the joint. Learning the Alexander Technique can give you the ability to be your own biofeedback machine. One way of treating TMJ that actually addresses some underlying causes of the problem is chiropractic care. Most chiropractors learn to adjust the TMJ in just the right way so that normal tracking and range of motion is restored. Other chiropractors specialize in correcting the atlas misalignment.
