TMJ Treatment

As common as TMJ is, most people do not know a lot about it or what can be done to treat it. If you are suffering from TMJ with constant jaw pain or ear pain, a chiropractor can help you ease relieve the pain and get back to living your normal life.

What Is TMJ?

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ, is a disorder that occurs when the jaw joints and/or muscles are not functioning properly. In some cases, TMJ may be caused by traumatic injury to the area. However, many people who have TMJ have it for no apparent reason.

Inflammation is a big problem when it comes to TMJ, so any inflammation-related problems may lead to TMJ. If you have arthritis, use your jaw too much or have some sort of inflammatory disease, you may end up with jaw pain and discomfort at some point. The first step to treating temporomandibular joint dysfunction is figuring out what is causing it for you.

Symptoms of TMJ

The fact of the matter is a lot of things can cause jaw and ear pain. Understanding the symptoms of TMJ is an important part of figuring out your treatment options. While some of the symptoms of TMJ may mimic the symptoms of other conditions, here are some of the telltale signs of TMJ:

  • Pain or tenderness in the jaw
  • Pain where the jaw and ear meet
  • Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
  • Clicking of the jaw
  • Temporary locking of the jaw
  • Pain in the face

If you are experiencing any or all these symptoms, you should visit a doctor for a diagnosis. This is a crucial first step to take.

TMJ Treatment From A Chiropractor

When it comes to how you live your day-to-day life, TMJ has a big effect on everything. Fortunately, there are treatment options. In addition to using NSAID medications to reduce inflammation, you can also achieve great results with the help of a chiropractor. An adjustment can help you relax your muscles and relieve some of the inflammation that may be causing your TMJ.

Some people find it is best to combine chiropractic care, NSAIDs and physical therapy to treat TMJ. The big benefit to adding chiropractic care is the fact that you do not have to rely as heavily on medications.
