WHAT IS TMJ DYSFUNCTION
More Than Just Jaw Pain
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction refers to disorders affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and restricted movement. Common causes include teeth grinding, stress, arthritis, or jaw injuries.
WHY CHOOSE TMJ MASSAGE
Relief Beyond the Jaw
-
Pain Reduction: Massage therapy helps alleviate tension in the jaw muscles, reducing pain and discomfort.
-
Improved Jaw Mobility: Regular sessions can enhance the range of motion, making daily activities like eating and speaking more comfortable.
-
Decreased Inflammation: Targeted massage reduces inflammation in the affected areas, promoting healing.
-
Stress Relief: Since stress often exacerbates TMJ symptoms, massage aids in overall relaxation, potentially minimizing symptom severity.
INTRAORAL MASSAGE
deep relief — INSIDE AND OUT
Many people don’t realize that some of the most effective TMJ relief techniques involve working inside the mouth. Intraoral massage, performed with gloved hands, directly targets the deeper muscles that contribute to jaw tension and pain. This technique allows for precise treatment of trigger points that can’t be accessed externally, providing lasting relief from jaw discomfort, headaches, and muscle tightness.
While intraoral work may feel unfamiliar at first, it is a gentle, highly effective approach to addressing the root cause of TMJ dysfunction.
