Take Control of Your Jaw Pain: TMJ Self-Treatment Guide - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

You've been told it's your TMJ, but nobody's told you what to do about it.

Clicking, popping, clenching, headaches, and facial tension can make everyday life frustrating and exhausting when you don't have the tools to manage it, especially when a specialist appointment is months away.

This self-treatment guide for the jaw is written by a Doctor of Physical Therapy experienced in treating temporomandibular disorders. It explains what's actually driving your symptoms, and gives you a way to start working on them today.

Inside are strategies to:
• Reduce jaw pain and manage day-to-day symptoms
• Identify and change the habits that keep irritating your joint
• Adjust your posture, sleep, and daily positions that contribute to your symptoms
• Implement targeted jaw exercises, with photos of every movement
• Recognize a flare-up and know when it's time to see someone

Jaw pain doesn't behave the same way in everyone. Rather than a single protocol, this guide breaks treatment into pieces you can match to your own symptoms, so you know where to start, how to progress, and what to avoid.
