Do you suffer from TMJ syndrome? Then you must very well know about the pain caused by it.
It doesn't allow opening the mouth fully which is annoying. And it is very hard to eat, talk and yawn. The jaw is attached to the skull with the help of this joint. The inflamed joint causes TMJ pain. The jaw cannot take high pressure. TMJ pain occurs when a jaw is faces high pressure.
The pain disappears if correct amount of rest is taken. Frustrated with the pain many behave like stressed without knowing that it is nothing serious. One can do exercises to completely get rid of a TMJ syndrome.
You should place the web of your hand in between forefinger and thumb. Before that take a high back chair and place your head adjacent to the chair.
The movement of the lower jaw triggers the movement inside the mouth. So the lower jaw is moved by pressing the head back smoothly by using the chin.
The pain can be reduced gradually when this exercise is continued 5 more times continuously and many times in a day.
Like the first exercise another exercise also starts with the identical position. One has to hold the jaw alongside the hand for a minimum of 5 seconds without changing any position in this second exercise.
Similar to the first exercise return to the starting position and do the same for few more times. The third is to relax by moving the lower jaw from side to side. The other way to deal with the TMJ syndrome is by enhancing the posture. Bad posture can result in adverse effects on the TMJ.
It is all true and you should really believe that the body alignment changes and the TMJ syndrome find a place in the shoulder, neck and back just because of a bad posture.
To check about the status of the posture you can stand in front of a mirror and compare your two arms to find whether they are equal in length and whether the shoulders are of same height. You should check whether your head turns towards anyone side marginally. If any of the above said changes in adjustments occur then it will result in a big problem.
A good posture will make the TMJ syndrome pain to disappear in the long run. A good posture achieved by taking proper steps in back correction to a straight position and also making the chin to point steadily upwards.
Yoga is an efficient tool to a softened TMJ. It creates a correct posture of the body which is in turn a solution to the TMJ pain.
By dealing with the pressure point that exists in between the thumb and the index finger with the help of acupressure can help in handling TMJ syndrome
By pressing the pressure point for a minute continuously with the help of your thumb by holding the hand in the other hand can seriously take of the pain.
I have developed new exercises which help at the time of TMJ. Rather following the traditional exercises these new exercises can be followed which not only alternatives to the traditional ones, they are better to the ones that I have explained here.
