Have You Considered Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Misalignment?
If you experience facial asymmetry or hear clicking sounds when opening your mouth, you might be dealing with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. TMJ problems are common and can affect both aesthetics (such as facial asymmetry) and long-term health, potentially leading to headaches, neck pain, and shoulder discomfort.
What Is the Temporomandibular Joint?
The TMJ is the only movable joint in the skull, connecting the lower jawbone (mandible) to the temporal bone. It includes various components like joint surfaces, ligaments, discs, and surrounding tissues. The TMJ plays a crucial role in activities such as eating, speaking, and swallowing.
Common Causes of TMJ Misalignment
- Habits: Teeth grinding, chewing on one side, or sleeping in a tilted position might lead to jaw misalignment.
- Orthodontic Treatment: Braces or orthodontic adjustments can alter tooth positions, affecting jaw function and causing misalignment.
- Botox or Filler Injections: Facial muscle changes due to cosmetic injections can impact jaw movement.
How to cure TMJ problems?
At ACC, our Chiropractic doctors address TMJ misalignment by:
- Examination: Evaluate your medical history, the range of jaw movement and any clicking sounds when opening and closing your mouth.
- Adjusting Jaw Alignment: Correcting the jaw’s position and relaxing tight facial muscles.
- Spinal Adjustments: Ensuring spinal alignment, as the spine and jaw are interconnected.
- Physical Therapies: Utilizing techniques like massage, electrical stimulation, heat therapy, ultrasound, etc, for optimal results.
- Lazer: Reducing inflammation, pain reduction, and promote healing, resulting in an improved function of the TMJ.
