A friend of mine loves chocolates. He especially loves chocolates which have been frozen.
His wife, however, does not. This is because she suffers from TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint syndrome. The cold of the frozen candy is a trigger for symptoms. Always interested in the ailments of people and how to cure them, I asked my friend's wife to provide more detail about 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.
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, and is not a condition in and of itself but rather a disorder of the temporomandibular 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 disorder occurs when the joint becomes eroded and slides out of alignment. Certain medical conditions can also cause damage to the cartilage in the joint. A trauma or injury can also cause a disorder.
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 which can bring on symptoms include: grinding one's teeth, drinking or eating cold things, lack of sleep, poor neck and face posture, exposure to cold air and stress.
TMJ disorders affect women more then men, with the total population affected about 5-15%. Some experts say the number is higher due to cases which go undiagnosed.
Symptoms of this disorder include: Pain in the face, pain or tenderness in the jaw, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, headache, earache, and neck pain. Some experience a clicking sound with pain.
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.
In my friend's case, his wife simply needed to avoid cold food and drink and direct exposure to cold air (cold air increases muscle contraction). I suggested to her that she try my TMJ and it worked! She was able to develop healthy habits to avoid the nasty symptoms of TMJ disorder.
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!
