Avoid Jaw Pain: Effective TMD Treatment Guide
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Are you experiencing pain or tenderness of your jaw, aching pain in and around your ear, difficulty chewing or pain while chewing, aching facial pain, or difficulty moving the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles? If any of these symptoms sound familiar, you may have Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD). The good news is that physical therapy can help treat TMD for good!
The temporomandibular joint acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. Dysfunction can lead to the symptoms listed above, and can cause pain, headaches and difficulties that greatly decrease your quality of life.
In this video, Rebecca Petrosino, Partner & Director at PTSMC Fairfield, talks about how physical therapy can help treat TMD and demonstrates a number of ways PTs may approach treatment, including manual manipulation of the joint and muscles and even dry needling of the affected joint and muscles.
Treatment for TMD is offered in our clinics in Fairfield, Orange and Waterbury, Connecticut. Learn more about PTSMC clinics here: ptsmc.com/loca...
Because of TMJ, my neck, head, shoulders hurt, and tinnitus , any of you are suffering from the same?
Same 😥😥😥
Same 😥😥😥
Same how to treat please tell me
@@gtvishal2521 Today I visited the physical therapy, this is my first day of a total of 6
@@gtvishal2521 But I only treated my cervical muscle
Chewing, yawning, singing everything's disturbed since July, 2020 just because of a worst dentist!😔
Same here
Well i am a dentist. Seeing you guys I really hope these problems are never faced by my patients.
How are you feeling now and what that dentist did to you?
@@WittyCatty11 Feeling worst, I got a root canal treatment, he kept my mouth open for so long, may be that's why I got this TMD. And you know I can't even chew using that side, it hurts as hell. I also got a bumb there, can't go to doctors or something because of the lockdown!
That dentist gave me the WORST experience of RCT. ☣️
Great Video, thank you! - the music is distracting from all the important info you are giving though.
very distracting.
This video was very well done. I didn’t notice any ego or boasting. Thanks for posting this
Wow she was a warrior… dry needling without any single sing of pain??
Bilateral Tinnitus, severe chronic pain in jaw, neck, shoulders and spine and chronic dizziness. It is very debilitating to say the least 😢
Wow she was a trooper! I didn’t know physical therapy could be so awesome!I just got dry needling done today for the first time at my specialist and now I’m headed for physical therapy.
Releasing trigger points hahaha very trooper indeed.
Dry needling is acupuncture right? Which one did you prefer??? Any of them work for you?
JM I'll
I’ve got to get in to see a physical therapist , I’ve been to famildr and my dentist dentist , have muscle relaxers and had a dental splint made 😓 always had tmj problems but last month has been unbearable and causing constant migraines
Did anything work in in the same boat
The music is unnecessary, really, it's distracting.... 😢
Great video. I had to stop wearing my orthotic splint, because I realized that I was clenching more. It caused a lot of jaw inflammation near my ear.
This was so much better than the first video.
I definitely need help asap
So hard to find a reputable TMJ specialist who will help not just be after your money in London.
Same here in Toronto...looking for a good Dr
If the video was without background music would be great. This music is distracting
Very good video
Thanks!
Good video, but please next time without this annoying music
You need to see TMJ/TMD specialist. The treatment that works are DTR therapy or wearing teeth orthotics. This will fix facial asymmetry, pain,vertigo, body posture, crooked smile, overgrown jaw muscles and other issues arising from TMJ/TMD including jaw lock/pop Good Luck
I'm curious why the therapist is using gloves that's been on the bed and head inside the mouth and used again from mouth to hair? I am concerned about the hygiene aspect of treatment i.e. germs being taken from different areas of body into other parts of body?
OK so I'm quite nervous that my tmj could get worse or something. I'm just 17 years old I have this popping noise as long I could remember but just recently (8th july) I had a much louder noise at my jaw and pain was pulsating and it just comes and go. I've checked it out with the doctors and she said I may have chances of getting jaw locked and that freaked me out. Also she said surgery will help too. So I came across this video and I really hope it takes off the popping noise and the pain
you need to go see a dentist or a specialist for TMD. they might make you wear mouth guard. avoid grinding at day, chewing gum, bad habits with your jaw. surgery is the last thing to do.
I am also 17 and i had a jaw with clicking sound but now it is locked and i can only open it 2 finger wide and it pains when i chew hard food.
Is your problem cured? Please tell
@@Dhana77728 I have the same problem. I visited a specialist for TMJ (ATM) and was recommended to do physiotherapy for my jaw. The expert also said not to chew hard food and never to chew gum again. There is also the avoidance of sticky foods such as caramel so that your jaw does not lock. I’ve had this problem for a year now, and I regret not going earlier
How’s it going now
A family doctor is not the one to see for TMJD unless you need a referral to a specialist who does. A family md has no business even mentioning surgery for you at 17, there are many ways to go, surgery is the last resort. At 17 you likely haven't had the stress the world deals where most practitioners will accuse you of causing your own problems by being stressed out and angry, always clenching your jaw, so my guess is poor dental work where your bite needs to be corrected. Dentists don't like to admit that their work is more of an art than a science but really, putting a piece of paper to tap down on and asking if your bite feels OK after dental work (when your mouth is frozen) is purely subjective and can't possibly be accurate. The invention of a T-Scan to measure for an accurate bite is promising.
Nice
About 30 years ago I had exact symptoms. I received regular massages on my jaw, neck, and upper back. I returned to normal.
Make sure. You are not grinding your teeth and that your bite is equal.
How long did it take you to reach normalcy?
I need you in my life. I have loud popping everytime I open my mouth. Teeth don’t line up over bottom and jaw diverts to the right when I open 😫😫😫
That sounds frustrating! Might be worth looking up physical therapists in your area to see if anyone offers this type of treatment - it can prevent bigger problems down the road!
I have the same problem as you exept that my jaw diverts to the left,did you find any solution.
If you found some solution can u give me some
@@anis141 I’ve not found a solution I have an appointment in June with a tmj specialist, been waiting ages cos of Covid😩
@@sophie6390how’s it going now???
I went to tmj specialist they said I have tmj plus they discover my jaw is uneven one lower then other somehow ivmissing a bone do not know how that happen I had wisdom tooth removed but for some reason does not feel like it but when tmj specialist did ex Ray they said I havevnone.i get headaches all time when I move my jaw get discomfort near cheekbone in temples near ears I wear spilter guard on bottom does not help much when I try crew small bite soft foods I get odd feeling on right side shoot up threw side of jaw into skull and temple area .I had head injury years ago had operation done so I wondering if this what caused tmj .plus when I was in medical coma they had my jaw wire open for couple month I had bad head injury years ago they had remove part of skull because brain in my head was swell up .so I wondering if it cause of it .I going see dentist on Monday Aug 23 2022 I going tell them before they do cleaning do mri see if any new unpected happen I can not sleep on my right-side because of tmj discomfort on right-side
Does anyone know if going regularly actually helps cure TMJ or is this just a bandaid that helps a little and you pay a fortune for the rest of your life? Seriously even on good health insurance Id pay 65.00 twice a week. Thats not affordable.
Is this what causes my temples to swell?
Maybe. I hope you can see a doctor or nurse practitioner
does tmj affects teeth? my 4 teeth hurts
Probably because you smoke weed
I went back to my dentist 6 times and they kept saying everything was OK but I just felt like they where covering their ass.
@SW Sweetie I'm going back to them and getting all my records
@SW Sweetie another thing to is that the dentist did refer me to a oral specialist and even he said nothing was wrong so I hold both of them accountable now for not being able to diagnose me properly
I'm going through physiotherapy for TMJD at the moment and would have loved to learn more about it through your video, but this music is just unbearable. I have more pain just listening to it!
Do muscle relaxants or even ibuprofen help these muscles relax?
Muscle relaxants never seemed to help me with tension/pain. I’m on anti-inflammatories which help, but I assume I shouldn’t do it long term
Hopefully ur cured by now but in the off chance your not the answer is no ibuprofen will only help the pain go away temporarily
I don't think they help. It always awake 😫 It might put you to sleep but it starts back moving like a living worm with claws 😭
They do but are hard on your gut.
No only phyaiotherapy and exercises help i had this problem for 4 years and after physiotherapy may starts again if you don't care about eating , eating large foods hard foods may gradually back you to same problem
Ive had better massages with just as useless outcome...Please dont fall to these scammers
