Tension headaches, facial headaches, grinding of the teeth. Pain while chewing as well as ear pain. These are the most common symptoms related to TMJ-the joint that connects the skull to the jaw. The muscles that are attaching to that joint are going to go from the ear canal down to the angle of the jaw.
Our Multipronged Approach
If those muscles get too tight, facial headaches can develop. These are common issues we see in our office that we can help treat. How do we do that? We can ensure you have good cervical or neck alignment, proper posture and positioning.
We also can teach you some exercises that focus on the muscle imbalances from left to right and top to bottom. We can use chiropractic as well as some at-home exercises. In addition, we provide acupuncture which is a great benefit to relieve that muscular stress and improve blood flow.
In his video, Dr. Storm demonstrates some exercises you can do to relieve some of those muscular imbalances.
