Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)

Headaches
Face Pain
Neck & Shoulder pain
Clicking, popping in the jaw joint
Earaches without infection
Difficulty in swallowing
Habitual muscle tension

A variety of symptoms in the jaw, head and neck can be caused by trigger pints in muscles of the jaw and neck. Dental work can also result in patients having tired jaw muscles. Emotional stress, bad posture, even whiplash can produce trigger points. The release of tension can make trigger points more receptive to treatment. Many people have no awareness of how tense they are and frequently resort to drugs or alcohol to “relax”. This in turn can undermine your health, weakening the immune system. Releasing trigger points can be one way to resolve your pain/discomfort.
