TMJ Exercises
Temporomandibular Joint and Muscle Disorders (most commonly referred to as TMJ) are a set of conditions that cause pain in the area of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles and affects as many as 65-85 percent of Americans. TMJ can affect your ability to talk, eat, chew, swallow, smile or make other facial expressions, and even breathe.
Unfortunately, TMJ is complex and often misunderstood, causing those affected by it to suffer needlessly. TMJ replacement procedures are often unsuccessful, with many TMJ implants breaking or causing permanent damage. Egoscue can help relieve TMJ pain, without drugs or surgery, with our specially designed posture exercises to relieve TMJ.
At Egoscue we have found that most joint pain, swelling and arthritis is a result of a misalignment somewhere else in the body, and the symptom is just a reaction to your body compensating to the postural deficiency. The body requires a healthy alignment of all its parts, so our goal is to eliminate musculoskeletal system disparities and the resulting postural dysfunctions that interfere with pain-free living through a series of corrective posture jaw exercises for TMJ.
The first thing an Egoscue therapist will do is assess your posture, the way you perform a range of motions, and the way you speak in order to identify the source of misalignment or muscular imbalance that is causing your TMJ. They will then design a personal series of TMJ exercises customized to address your misbalances and posture.
By doing these TMJ exercises at home on your own, and revisiting your therapist once a week for adjustments to your personalized set of TMJ jaw exercises, your body will be conditioned to restore muscular balance and skeletal alignment, i.e. improve your posture, and pain will diminish, if not completely disappear.
Exercises for TMJ, as a result of your posture dysfunction, is what Egoscue focuses on. We have a wide variety of programs that can help you experience relief through TMJ exercises, including travel clinics, Egoscue clinic visits, Online Therapy, and WebCam Skype or iChat video conferencing. Egoscue is simple and the results are remarkable. Find a clinic online, or call us for more information on corrective posture TMJ exercises at 800-995-8434 today.
