Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome
A friend and fellow chocolate lover recently told me of a new discovery of his - eating a Snickers bar, fresh from the freezer.
My friend's wife, however, suffers from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. Her condition is exacerbated by the cold of the frozen candy. When asked, she was quite eager to share the symptoms of her condition.
Most TMJ sufferers experience the same or similar symptoms but some are always surprising. Or, at least this is what I have found in researching this condition to create my TMJ program.
The acronym TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint. This is what some people mistakenly refer to as a disorder, however, TMJ syndrome is actually a disorder of the joint.
The TMJ is responsible for allowing us to talk chew and yawn. They are located on either side of the face in front of the ears. TMJs are made up of blood vessels, nerves, bones and muscles.
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.
This condition can also be caused when the joint is over used. This is one of the reasons it's so unhealthy to grind or clench your teeth. In addition to eroding your teeth, it can cause the TMJ disorder. Certain others are born with an irregular development of the joint.
There are certain triggers which can bring on symptoms such as repeatedly grinding or clenching your teeth, poor posture of the face and neck, direct exposure to cold air or air conditioning on the face, eating cold foods or drinks, getting poor sleep 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 of this disorder include: Pain in the face, pain or tenderness in the jaw, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, headache, earache, and neck pain. Some experience a clicking sound with pain.
The comforting news is that in most cases, no surgery is required. If the cause is something you can correct (i.e., teeth grinding or poor neck posture) you and your doctor/dentist can take steps to correct the problem.
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.
In fact, I've received so many good reviews of my program, I'm overwhelmed by the reviews. If you haven't found relief from TMJ syndrome and are looking for an answer, please try my program. If headache is a common symptom for you, I would also try my Migraine and Headache program.
