#Treatment For Tmj

[thechronicpaingame]

Has anyone had Botox for their tmj pain? I'm not getting a splint made for another 6/7 months and I simply think I will ✨perish✨ before that comes around with this pain. I worry about the affects as I don't have a very square jaw, and I don't really want to change my face shape but at this point I don't know what else to try! Already have one of those head wrap things with the gels you cool and heat and it's not helping. This has been like 2 years of this now but the last 4/5 months have been constant and today is the worst it's ever been.

Finally got a rec for an oral surgeon to potentially treat my TMJ and tiiiny mouth opening. Anyone who has received surgical treatment for this, how did it go for you? What was it like?

And before it’s suggested, I have already tried heat, massage, PT, etc

The Role of Physiotherapy in TMJ Disorder

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. While there are various treatment options available, physiotherapy has emerged as a valuable approach to managing TMJ disorders. In Pune, individuals dealing with TMJ issues can find relief and support from qualified physiotherapists who specialize in treating this condition.

Understanding TMJ Disorder:

TMJ disorder refers to a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. Symptoms may include jaw pain, difficulty chewing or opening the mouth, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and facial discomfort. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing these symptoms by focusing on pain reduction, improving jaw function, and promoting overall well-being.

The Role of Physiotherapy:

Physiotherapy offers a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating TMJ disorder. A physiotherapist in Pune will begin by conducting a comprehensive evaluation to understand the underlying causes and assess the severity of your condition. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Treatment Techniques:

Physiotherapy for TMJ disorder utilizes various techniques that aim to reduce pain, improve jaw mobility, and restore normal function. These may include:

1. Jaw exercises: The physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles around the jaw joint, promoting improved jaw movement and reducing muscle tension.

2. Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, can help increase joint mobility, alleviate pain, and release muscle tension.

3. Heat or cold therapy: The application of heat or cold packs to the jaw area can reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm.

4. Ultrasound therapy: Ultrasound waves can penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing, improving blood flow, and reducing pain and inflammation.

5. Electrical stimulation: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) involves the use of low-level electrical currents to relieve pain and relax muscles.

6. Posture correction: Correcting poor posture can alleviate strain on the jaw joint. Physiotherapists in Pune can provide guidance on proper head and neck alignment and ergonomic modifications.

7. Education and self-care: Physiotherapists will educate you about proper jaw mechanics, relaxation techniques, and self-care strategies, empowering you to manage your TMJ symptoms effectively.

Finding Relief:

If you're experiencing TMJ disorder, seeking the expertise of a qualified physiotherapist is essential. Look for physiotherapy clinics or practitioners who specialize in TMJ disorders. They will have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, helping you find relief and regain a pain-free quality of life.

php is currently combined adolescent and adult because the summer school instructors for adolescent are out and it is. chaos. also my dietitian was like "if you wanted to know your weight we could have done an exposure you didn't need to do it on your own" which like okay but also the point was kind if to trigger myself into restricting tbh. and before some anon comes for me this is not an uncommon behavior. it's the along the same idea as looking at th*nspo except...not, if that makes sense. like I don't want to let go of my ed because I don't want to get my hopes up only to disappoint myself again.

my dietitian also moved my ~super snack~ to pm and I hate it!! because I was planning on simply having a normal snack for hs and not a ~super snack~ to pull one over on my mother. also we shall see if I decide to use compensatory behaviors tonight once php is let out... ugh.

Custom Mouth Guard

What you can't see here is how many times I had made the cast chomp down (at least a bajillion times) so that I could find all the high points to drill on the acrylic guard to equilibrate the occlusal plane.

No more painful bruxism for you, my friend.

How to manage Temporomandibular Joint Disorders?

TMJ disorders are a group of conditions that can cause pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles. TMJ disorders can be caused by a number of factors, including teeth grinding, TMJ injury, and joint inflammation. Treatment for TMJ disorders typically focuses on relieving pain and restoring normal jaw function. In some cases, TMJ surgery may be necessary to correct the underlying problem. If you think you may have a TMJ disorder, it is important to see a dentist or other qualified medical professional for diagnosis and treatment.

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) are a group of conditions that affect the jaw joint and the muscles around it. TMD can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. It can also make it difficult to eat, talk, and yawn. There are many different factors that can contribute to TMD, including teeth grinding, stress, arthritis, and jaw injury. There are a number of different treatments available for TMD. Many people find relief with over-the-counter pain medications or muscle relaxants. Others may need to see a dentist or orthodontist to correct teeth alignment issues. Physical therapy, massage, and acupuncture are also sometimes used to treat TMD.
