Physical Therapy For Tmj

Felicia Said:

Does accupuncture really work, and if so, how? ?

We Answered:

my mom got acupuncture for her neck and it was effective. But it was only temporary but sometime massages or something else that can relax your muscles can help between appointments. the reliefs usually last for 1-1.5 weeks. Although the relief isn't a really long period of time, it can still help you get some stuff done in that period of time if your really willing! resting is also good.

TMJ problem?

We Answered:

TMJ can often get worse before it gets better. I would recommend that you talk to your dentist and make sure he/she knows all your symptoms. It may require a treatment alteration or you may just need to tough it out for a short while. If you are having "migraines" those are not caused by TMJ. A migraine is caused by a vascular problem in the brain. You are probably just having very bad tension headaches. I have had TMJ problems for over 20 years and am currently in braces to try and adjust my bite enough to give me some relief. I also worked in the dental field as a lab tech for 5 years and know a lot about this from both personal and professional experience.
