TMJ Dysfunction
January 3rd, 2011
Last week I finally got an appointment with an ear-nose and throat doctor after two weeks of agonizing pain and two rounds of antibiotics for an ear infection.
After checking my ears and telling my doctor how it hurt when i chewed, she laughed. She said there was nothing wrong with my ears, that I had TMJ Dysfunction. I had to laugh too, as I treat many clients for this and didn’t recognize this problem with myself.
I massaged my jaw and shoulder that evening and the pain went away and didn’t return.
If you have this problem and see me, I will show you how you can massage your own jaw, including inside your mouth.
One easy thing to do, its so simple: pull your hair behind and above your ear. That can do wonders sometimes.
