TMJ Natural Cures - Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Exercises


The word TMJ refers to both Temporomandibular Joint and Temporomandibular Joint disorder at the same. Temporomandibular Joint is the region of the between the upper and lower jaw. This region is highly sensitive and gets unsettled very easily by the least tension or pressure. Unfortunately the disorder that usually affects this region does not have a guaranteed cure, but there are many methods of treating this condition. Some of these treatments are prescription based or clinical and some are more natural, holistic cures. The problem with most prescription and clinical treatments is that they do not treat the actual causes of the problem, instead they treat only the symptoms which means that it is very hard to permanently get rid of this problem with these treatments.

So the pain and often teeth grinding returns after sometime and actually it often gets even worse. That is why it makes perfect sense to use TMJ natural cures instead. The most popular natural cure for this condition is the exercises specifically made for this area. These exercises are meant to relieve the tension of muscles around the jaws and set back the jaws in their places.

Here are few examples of such exercises: try opening your jaws and rolling your tongue up to support your upper jaw, at the same time breathe in and out. Do this about ten times, then make a fist and press against your chin while opening your lower jaw. Next presses against your jaw from both sides with one finger each while opening and closing your jaws. There are many such exercises which you can use to relieve this problem. Other good choices among tmj natural cures are to make changes in your sleeping habit. Change your position and switch to more relaxing sleeping positions, back is best. Avoid or lessen the intake of alcohol, tea and coffee and chocolate products.
