Five Ways To Combat TMJ Pain

Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is, to put it in most basic terms, your jaw joint.  It is the hinged joint that allows you to open and close your mouth.  Many people suffer from pain in this joint.  There can be a variety of contributing factors and it can be beneficial to see your dentist and/or chiropractor to see about permanent solutions if you suffer from chronic TMJ pain or discomfort.   

Until then, here are five tips to help you combat TMJ pain.  

1.  Use Sore No More.  Sore No More has been remarkably effective for some of our customers who suffer from chronic TMJ pain.  Apply some over the jaw joint and also down the sternocleidomastoid muscle (along the side of your neck.)  

2. Stretch.  Gently open and close your mouth, do not cause yourself excessive pain and discomfort. Do this ten times. Stretch your neck by tilting your right ear toward your right shoulder until you feel a stretch and then holding for ten seconds.  Repeat on the left side.  Do this three times per side.  It’s important to remember that the muscles in your neck can directly effect your TMJ pain.

3.  Apply a heating pad to your jaw/neck.  This will relax the muscles and decrease pain. Follow by applying an ice pack for five minutes.

4.  Relax.  Find ways to relax and decompress before bed. Many people experience TMJ pain because they grind or clench their teeth while they sleep. This is less likely to happen if you fall asleep in a relaxed state.  

5. Massage.  Sometimes light massage over the TMJ can relax the muscles and decrease pain.  Follow it up by massaging the muscles of the neck.  Finding a good massage therapist who knows acupressure points on the cheeks and jaw can help combat pain.  

TMJ problems can wear down the joint and can also have a negative impact on your tooth and gum health, so make sure to get TMJ problems assessed and taken care of by a professional as soon as possible!
