Clinical Massage for treating TMJ, Face, and Jaw Pain
According to a recent study one in four people suffer from temporomandibular joint pain. Symptoms vary and might include ear ache, headaches, migranes, tooth ache, locked jaw, trismus (difficulty opening your mouth), clicking, cracking or popping jaw, tooth grinding (bruxism), sinus pain, diificulty swallowing, speaking, sleeping as well as sensitivity to light and noise. With an advanced massage protocol that focuses on releasing trigger points and fascial adhesions from painful area and surrounding areas as well as non-invasive realignment of the cranial bones through cranio-sacral therapy, we can greatly reduce or relieve the pain completely ( this might take some time and commitment). Some common causes of TMJ are : dental work, anxiety, stress, trauma, crowded teeth, braces, loss of teeth, tooth grinding (bruxism).
