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 of the symptoms she described were expected, as I have performed much research on the condition in order to be able to create my TMJ program. Since everyone is different, though, she had a few symptoms which were surprising.
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.
This joint serves an important function by allowing us to chew food, yawn and talk. Made up of blood vessels, muscles, nerves and bones, TMJs are located on either side of the face in front of the ears. The TMJ is what connects the jawbone to the skull.
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.
TMJ syndrome can occur when the joint becomes eroded and then slides out of alignment. Some medical conditions such as arthritis can cause damage to the cartilage making up the joint. An injury can also cause this syndrome.
TMJ disorders are also caused when overusing the joint. This is another reason your dentist may tell you not to grind or clench your teeth, in addition to tooth erosion. Sometimes people are born with this condition. The joint is irregular in development.
Triggers include: lack of sleep, stress, exposure to air-conditioning on the face, eating or drinking cold food and drinks, clenching the teeth repeatedly and leaning forward to view a computer screen causing poor posture.
This condition affects women more than men and includes 5-15% of the total population. Experts say this number is likely higher due to misdiagnosis.
Some common symptoms include: Headache (most sufferers complain of this), pain or tenderness in the jaw, earache, pain in the face, clicking sound when opening or closing the mouth accompanied by pain (a clicking sound without pain does not necessarily mean you have TMJ), neck pain and difficulty opening and closing the mouth.
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.
With my friend's wife, cold air and eating/drinking cold foods and drink brought on symptoms. I suggested that she try my TMJ program and guess what - it worked! She can now lead a life free of joint pain.
I've received excellent feedback about my TMJ program as well as my Migraine and Headache program from TMJ syndrome sufferers so I'm confident my all natural programs can work for you!
