Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ, is a disorder relating to the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. It often leads to dysfunction in the movements and position of the jaw, which worsens over time if not treated. It is said that over 11 million americans may have TMJ at any given time.
Discomfort and pain in the neck and jaw are often felt my TMJ sufferers. Migraines and Fibromyalgia may even develop over time.
TMJ, experts say, is caused by constant movement of the jaw beyond its standard limits, such as sideways or forward, which in turn is caused by excessive gum chewing, nail biting, dental inattention, or trauma (accident).
Yet many other individuals suffer from TMJ despite steering clear of all its known causes. Is this due to a new, exciting, previously-unknown cause, one that would mark a colossal new way of looking at TMJ?
Well, yes and no. Yes because only a few people know about these new causes, and no, because in the first place, these are what really causes TMJ, so they shouldn't surprise you.
Anxiety is the first cause.
You're probably familiar with this. Your muscles tighten, you tremble, and your jaw stiffens when you feel scared, apprehensive, or anxious. When you deal with anxiety on a regular basis, what do you think happens to you?
Remember the times when you feel occasional aches and pains that seem to pop out of nowhere. Did you ever wonder why there never seems to be a physical cause for these pains?
Well, now you know what caused them. And when you unconsciously set your jaw whenever you go through your daily dose of stress, it may eventually add up to a TMJ problem.
Wrong body position is the other cause.
Our parents have often told us to sit up and walk straight when we were kids. You probably did not listen if you are suffering from back problems now.
The same goes for TMJ. Sitting the wrong way (or too much) causes our jaw to have the wrong position - it may be too far in or far out.
When you see women in developing countries carry heavy loads directly on top of their heads in one of the Discovery Channel programs, aren't you amazed that they can carry these loads and not suffer from any shoulder, neck, and jaw problems?
The simple reason is because they carry the loads directly over their heads. This makes the muscles in their neck and shoulders sustain the weight the way they are naturally designed to do.
But as soon as the women tip their heads forward, the weight would instantly cause them to tip forward and lose their balance.
See the connection?
Your head is not heavy at all when it is aligned with the body. But when it is not, as when you tip forward, it feels a bit heavier. Your neck and shoulder muscles often cannot support the extra load, so your jaw exerts effort to keep the head level.
Over time, the extra strain manifests in a TMJ disorder.
Doctors often just prescribe painkillers to ease the pain caused by TMJ, but these are just temporary solutions. They do nothing to ease TMJ's root causes.
My TMJ No More program does just that. With simple exercises that relax the muscles around the TMJ and restore the jaw's natural position, it addresses TMJ at its source, effectively ending the misery caused by this disorder.
It works, as sworn by my customers who have tried it themselves. Experience for yourself and see what brought the smiles back on their faces.
