TMJ Symptoms and Treatment
Who doesn't love chocolate? OK, some of us but not a good friend of mine - he loves them so much he comes up with new inventive ways to eat them so as not to get bored.
His wife, however, does not. This is because she suffers from TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint syndrome. The cold of the frozen candy is a trigger for symptoms. Always interested in the ailments of people and how to cure them, I asked my friend's wife to provide more detail about 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.
The acronym TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint. This is what some people mistakenly refer to as a disorder, however, TMJ syndrome is actually a disorder 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 this joint by placing your finger in front of your ear and then opening and closing your mouth. The jawbone can perform two movements - opening/closing the mouth and acting as a hinge and also a gliding action which allows you to open your mouth wide.
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 include: lack of sleep, stress, exposure to air-conditioning on the face, eating or drinking cold food and drinks, clenching the teeth repeatedly and leaning forward to view a computer screen causing poor posture.
This condition affects women more than men and includes 5-15% of the total population. Experts say this number is likely higher due to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms include: Headache, neck pain, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, pain or tenderness in the jaw, earache, pain in the face and a clicking sound when opening or closing the mouth.
Surgery is usually not required for TMJ disorders and most of the time you can make the effort to correct the condition if you know what's causing the symptoms. For example, if you know poor necks posture is causing the misalignment, you can work with your doctor to develop better posture.
In my friend's wife's case it was all about temperature. Eating cold food or drinks or direct exposure to cold air or air-conditioning were triggers for her condition. Thanks to my TMJ program she was able to learn good habits to bring about relief to this disorder.
In fact, I've received so many good reviews of my program, I'm overwhelmed by the reviews. If you haven't found relief from TMJ syndrome and are looking for an answer, please try my program. If headache is a common symptom for you, I would also try my Migraine and Headache program.
