JawPain

JawPain, Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), or TMJ syndrome encompasses any discomfort in the jaw area, including the mandible (lower jaw) and Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ). It can occur suddenly or develop gradually, sometimes becoming so uncomfortable that mouth opening for eating becomes difficult. Various activities may trigger it, such as eating, swallowing, or teeth grinding.

JawPain often is most likely linked to according to client feedback extremely tense, shortened mastication muscles (chewing muscles). Clients often 'grit their teeth' to endure what they consider unbearable situations. Often this Pain may show improvement following the first Osteopressure session.

The suspected correlation between chewing muscle imbalances and back problems could possibly apply; however, regarding therapy, addressing massive trunk (torso) muscles proves considerably more effective in our experience for back Pain. Furthermore, we believe a corrected spine is more likely to offset incorrect bite patterns rather than the reverse.
