TMJ Help Program

You’ve probably been looking for a way to heal your TMJ for some time. You may have read several articles, visited dozens web sites and even read some books. And most likely, the conclusion of all your research is:

Nobody knows how to cure TMJ. The only thing doctors can do is give out strong pain relief medicines or muscle relaxation drugs. There is nothing else they can do.

All these medicines fail. Even if they reduce the pain a little for a while in the beginning, they’ll stop working little by little as your body gets immune to them. Some dentist specialize in TMJ. They put a dental implant in your mouth. It may well be worth getting these implants. They may save you from grinding your teeth at night. But most likely, they won’t relief your pain.

So why has science failed you? You can’t really blame them tough. TMJ is one of the most complex conditions you’ll ever find. Every TMJ patient has different original causes for his or her condition. And not only one cause or accident. There are probably several contributing factors causing your pain. Both physical and emotional.

Some people begin to experience TMJ after an accident of some sort. Stress is an other trigger. But most of the time, doctors have no idea what really causes their patients TMJ. This can be very depressive for people who suffer this condition. Okay, enough of what we don’t know? What we know for a fact about TMJ is, the jaw joints are always misplaced in some way. It doesn’t necessarily have to be complete misplacement (although sometimes it is). Small wrong misplacement can be enough. And the symptoms can be both nerve racking and painful… • Clicking, popping jaw joints • Grating sounds • Jaw locking opened or closed • Extreme pain in cheek muscles • Uncontrollable jaw or tongue movements • Clenching or grinding at night • Discomfort or pain to any of these areas • Limited opening • Inability to open the jaw smoothly or evenly • Jaw deviates to one side when opening • Inability to “find bite” with teeth • Frequent, migraine type headaches …are just few obvious symptoms. You may have some or all of them. Or non at all. Like I said, this is very complicated condition. Here is another fact we know: The jaw muscles are always very stiff. They’re sometimes, not always, soar, or torn. But they’re always stiff. The pressure from your tense jaw muscles pushes your jaw further out of position. It supports its misplacement. This makes your problem way worse than it has to be. The same thing happens when people suffering back problems. The back muscles are weak and tense. The problem may have begun by putting too much strain on the back or working in a wrong position. Or it may have begun with a small injury that didn’t seem so bad at the time. But then, the back muscles get going. They get even more tense to deal with the small problem. Then you won’t have to feel the back pain for a while. This tension in the back muscles pushes the spine out of place. Just a little bit but that’s enough. What could have been only minor problem if the person had exercised the back muscles a little, has now become a chronic problem. I’m telling you this because TMJ develops the same way. Your TMJ may have began as minor problem like short period of intense feelings or light bump on the jaw. Then as your jaw muscles get more tens and push the jaw out of position, it has developed into a major condition.

This is the beginning of series of other problems. Now the two jaw joints do not cooperate together. They’re unbalanced and uncontrollable. It shouldn’t really come as surprise that everything gets stuck. The pain is unbearable. It’s like begin constantly tortured. Nerves get squeezed. Either directly by the misplaced jaw or the tense muscles around it. The same nerves lie around the jaw as the ears. The same nerves that control the balance system. That’s why you may experience dizziness or lack or balance for example? All the muscles in your body are connected. If one gets tense, all the muscles around that one become tense too. You’ve probably, for example, felt your shoulders and neck get stiffer as your TMJ grows worse.

Less noticeable is the tension in all the small muscles in your head. Including your other face muscles, tongue, throat and even eyes. You may also feel like your throat is narrower now than before (you’re not crazy it’s true). All this tension put together causes many of the secondary symptoms of TMJ. Including… • voice fluctuations • sore throat without infection • swallowing difficulties • bloodshot eyes • tongue pain • balance problems, “vertigo”, dizziness, or disequilibrium • feeling of foreign object in throat • clogged, stuffy, “itchy” ears, feeling of fullness • watering of the eyes …plus hundreds of other secondary symptoms! The only way to reverse the development of TMJ and heal your self is to loosen up and strengthen both the jaw muscles and all the muscles around the jaw.

This can be done using simple, jet very powerful exercises: 1)The jaw exercises are self explained. They strengthen and loosen up the jaw muscles directly, so the muscles will not push the jaw joint out of place but guide them into right position.

2)The tongue is a strong muscle. Many people have lot of tension in this muscle for some reason. It’s very important to relies the tension in the tongue, using simple tongue exercises. Remember all muscles are connected. Tension in tongue means tension in jaw and vs.

3)Most people never pay any attention to the muscles around the throat. These muscles play, however, a very important role in your body’s function and need to be fit. The throat exercises will do just that. (see secondary throat symptoms).

4)The neck and shoulder muscle exercises are very important to remove tension you may have in your shoulders and neck. These muscles are directly connected to the jaw muscle and quickly tense up as soon as there is any tension in your jaw.

5)The breathing exercises will nurture and loosen up all the muscles in your head. What’s more, they’ll will also relief any emotional stress built up in your muscles. You’ll be amazed how effective they’re.

Thousands of people have already used these exercises to permanently cure their TMJ. Considering how complex this condition is, it’s amazing how well they work for many people. But before you celebrate, let me be brutally honest with you. It varies a lot how quickly people receive relief using these exercises. Some people get healed almost over night. Others need up to 2 months to get acceptable results. You’ve been developing this condition for years (even if you just recently experienced the symptoms). So be patient waiting for results. The exercises rebuild your jaw function little by little. The the muscles around the jaw must first regain their old strength and flexibility. Then the jaw muscle will guide your jaw joints into their natural healthy position. This usually happens slowly and gradually.
