Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
You may have TMJ Dysfunction if you experience the following:
Pain or tenderness in the face, jaw joint area, neck and shoulders, and in or around the ear when chewing, speaking or opening the mouth wide.
Limited ability to open the mouth very wide.
Jaws that get "stuck" or "locked" in the open or closed mouth position
Clicking, popping, or grating sounds in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth (which may or may not be accompanied by pain)
Difficulty chewing or a sudden uncomfortable bite - as if the upper and lower teeth are not fitting properly
Other common symptoms include toothaches, headaches, neck pain, dizziness, as well as earaches and hearing problems.
Massage Therapy is a great tool to help lessen the signs and symptoms associated with TMJ issues. Using both intra-oral and external techniques, the therapist can help break down trigger points and scar tissue.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping Therapy
By creating suction and vacuum pressure, cupping is used to soften tight muscles, loosen adhesions, bring blood flow to body tissues, move deep inflammation to the skin surface for release, and drain excess fluids and toxins by opening lymphatic pathways.
Hot Stone Massage Therapy
Hot Stone Massage Therapy
Hot stone massage is a form of hydrotherapy. Heated smooth, flat stones are placed on key points on the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body. A great way to loosen deep trigger points, or to stay warm and relax.
