If you suffer from TMJ, Bruxism or a misaligned jaw, you know that the pain associated with it is no joke! Many people complain of headaches, muscle fatigue and clenching of the jaw. Chewing food, yawning and sometimes swallowing and talking can be painful.
As remedies go, what works for some won't always work for others but there is one treatment that seems to get positive reviews all across the board. Massage! It is not a cure all for the disease, however it can reduce pain and swelling and make movement of the jaw less painful.
Look for a massage therapist in your area that is trained for TMJ, or, if you are into the self-care movement, there are plenty of online tutorials that explain how you can do your own massage. Find something that works for you but always check with your dental provider first!
Keep Smiling!
