Roseofsharon Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 DO you know of anything to do for TMJ? My jaw keeps popping when I yawn -or even just open my mouth wide sometimes, it is kindof sore -& braces are out of the question.... Link to comment
gardnmom Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 http://www.ctds.info/tmj.html#tmj_cause Diet and Exercise Treatment This site gives one reason for this disorder. It is long and complicated in explaining the cause here so it is best to read it from the site. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are more if you use your search engine and the TMJ It will bring them up and you can look for the type of pain you are experiencing.

Guest Guest Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 a really up to date chiropractor can treat tmj... not gonna lie to you it involves stretching the muscles and it doesnt tickle, but it can be treated without surgery etc... by the way, so can acid reflux and some severe sinus conditions.... find a chiro that is AK certified (applied kinesiology) if you want to do a search to learn a little more I think you punch in ICAK and it should take you to the international college of applied kinesiology.... there are also mouth gaurds that can be prescribe for folks to sleep in if the problem seems to be coming from grinding the teeth at night... those are some of the solutions...ask your regular doctor or maybe a dentist about the mouth gaurds... good luck tmj aint for sissys!

HapyGirl Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I don't have TMJ, but I do grind my teeth now- didn't used to but the stress of my life is taking a toll. I wear a custom made mouth guard which cost me $350 Link to comment
