Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome
Who doesn't love chocolate? OK, some of us but not a good friend of mine - he loves them so much he comes up with new inventive ways to eat them so as not to get bored.
For his wife, however, this was not an exciting discovery, rather a newly found trigger for a condition she suffers from known as Temporomandibular Joint syndrome. This was a new symptom to my ears so I asked her to explain more of her particular symptoms.
I'm not generally surprised by the symptoms described, as I've performed much research on this condition to create my TMJ program. Some symptoms though, are surprising.
TMJ is actually just the temporomandibular joint. When people say they suffer from "TMJ" what they mean is that they suffer from a disorder or disorders of the joint.
This joint serves an important function by allowing us to chew food, yawn and talk. Made up of blood vessels, muscles, nerves and bones, TMJs are located on either side of the face in front of the ears. The TMJ is what connects the jawbone to the skull.
This joint can be found by placing a finger in front of the ear and then opening and closing the mouth. The jawbone is responsible for opening and closing the mouth, acting as a hinge and performing a gliding action, allowing the mouth to open wide.
A disorder occurs when the joint gets eroded and slides out of its alignment. Some medical conditions (i.e., arthritis) damage the cartilage that makes up the joint. An injury can also cause this disorder.
TMJ disorders are also caused when overusing the joint. This is another reason your dentist may tell you not to grind or clench your teeth, in addition to tooth erosion. Sometimes people are born with this condition. The joint is irregular in development.
Triggers which can bring on symptoms include: grinding one's teeth, drinking or eating cold things, lack of sleep, poor neck and face posture, exposure to cold air and stress.
TMJ syndrome affects women more than men. Experts say 5-15% of the population but agree the number is likely higher due to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms include: Headache, neck pain, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, pain or tenderness in the jaw, earache, pain in the face and a clicking sound when opening or closing the mouth.
Surgery is rarely required and most of the things that cause this condition can be corrected. For example, your dentist can create a "bite guard" to help you keep from grinding your teeth.
In my friend's wife's case it was all about temperature. Eating cold food or drinks or direct exposure to cold air or air-conditioning were triggers for her condition. Thanks to my TMJ program she was able to learn good habits to bring about relief to this disorder.
Overwhelming good reviews of my all natural programs such as the aforementioned TMJ program and my Migraine and Headache program has really impressed upon me the need that so many have to find a solution which doesn't involve medication. If this is the case with you, please try my program!
