TMJ Dysfunction & Muscle Tension
TMJ dysfunction can reduce your quality of life by causing discomfort during normal activities like talking and chewing. If you suffer from TMJ dysfunction, we can help you through natural treatments that can improve the function of your jaw while relaxing the muscles. It’s important to get help.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
The acronym “TMJ” stands for “temporomandibular joint”. This is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. TMJ disorder causes pain and dysfunction in the jaw. People who suffer from TMJ dysfunction may hear clicking sounds while talking and may have difficulty chewing as well.
How Does Muscle Tension Contribute to TMJ?
Muscle tension can exacerbate TMJ, leading to more pain and limited range of movement. We can help by teaching you relaxation techniques and exercises that can help reduce muscle tension and improve joint function overall.
Treatments for TMJ Dysfunction
In addition to the relaxation techniques that can help relax the muscles of the temporomandibular joint, oral appliances can also help realign the joint and improve function overall. Your dentist can help you find the best oral appliance to reduce your symptoms and improve your quality of life.
