What is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are two crucial joints that connect your mandible, or lower jawbone, to the temporal bones of your skull, located on each side of your head just in front of your ears. These joints function as sliding hinges, allowing you to perform essential movements such as opening and closing your mouth, chewing, speaking, and even yawning. The TMJ is one of the most complex joints in the human body due to its combination of rotational and translational movements.

Just like any other joint, the TMJ can be susceptible to disorders that cause pain and dysfunction, commonly referred to as temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). These disorders can arise from a variety of factors, including arthritis, jaw injury, chronic teeth grinding (bruxism), or displacement of the disc that cushions the joint. Stress and anxiety can also contribute to muscle tension around the jaw, exacerbating the condition.

Symptoms of TMD can significantly interfere with daily life. Common signs include aching pain in and around your ear, difficulty chewing or discomfort while chewing, locking of the joint making it hard to open or close your mouth, and a clicking or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew. In some cases, individuals may also experience headaches, neck pain, or swelling on the side of the face.

What Causes TMJ Disorder

Acupuncture for TMJ

TMJ disorder is a complex condition affecting the temporomandibular joint may be arised by such factors:

  1. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding). Clenching or grinding teeth, often due to stress, can strain the jaw muscles, leading to TMJ issues.
  2. Jaw Misalignment. An improper bite or jaw structure can disrupt the smooth function of the jaw joint, causing discomfort.
  3. Injury or Trauma. A blow to the jaw, whiplash, or impact during accidents can damage the joint, triggering TMJ symptoms.
  4. Arthritis. Degenerative joint diseases like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the TMJ, causing pain and inflammation.
  5. Habits. Chewing gum excessively, nail biting, or repetitive jaw movements strain the joint, potentially contributing to TMJ disorder.
  6. Stress. Emotional tension leading to jaw clenching or tightening of facial muscles can exacerbate TMJ symptoms.

Understanding these potential causes aids in piecing together a personalized approach to manage TMJ disorder.

Can Acupuncture Help With TMJ

Acupuncture for TMJ pain offers a holistic approach to reduce discomfort in the temporomandibular joint. By targeting specific acupuncture points, this ancient practice aims to restore balance in the body’s energy flow, easing TMJ-related symptoms.

The unique aspect of acupuncture for jaw pain lies in its ability to address not just the pain itself but also the underlying imbalances contributing to TMJ disorder. Acupuncture sessions involve precise needle placement on points related to jaw relaxation, stress reduction, and pain relief.

While experiences usually vary, some find relief from TMJ pain through acupuncture due to its potential to relax tense muscles, improve blood flow, and stimulate the body’s natural healing responses. However, it’s important to approach TMJ acupuncture as a complementary therapy alongside other TMJ management strategies, such as jaw exercises, lifestyle adjustments, or dental treatments, for a comprehensive approach to address TMJ discomfort most effectively. Consulting a qualified acupuncturist can help create a personalized plan to manage TMJ-related issues.

Benefits of Acupuncture for TMJ

Acupuncture for TMJ brings unique benefits:

  • Pain Relief. Targeting specific pressure points for TMJ, acupuncture aims to reduce jaw pain by stimulating the body’s natural pain-relieving mechanisms.
  • Muscle Relaxation. Acupuncture sessions promote muscle relaxation in the jaw area, reducing tension and stiffness commonly associated with TMJ.
  • Improved Circulation. By enhancing blood flow to the affected area, acupuncture may aid in reducing inflammation and supporting the healing process in the temporomandibular joint.
  • Stress Reduction. Acupuncture TMJ calming effect may help reduce stress levels, contributing to decreased jaw clenching or grinding often linked to this disorder.
  • Holistic Approach. Beyond symptom relief, acupuncture addresses the imbalances contributing to TMJ, aiming for lasting improvement.

Acupuncture for TMJ, while offering potential benefits, works uniquely for each individual. It’s often recommended as part of a broader approach to managing TMJ symptoms.

I visited Marina for back pain and digestive issues. My whole experience was positive. She is patient, empathetic, and very talented and knowledgeable. She used multiple modalities on my body (front and back) to address my concerns and treat the whole body rather than one part. I have been returning each week and I feel so good after.

Highly recommend! I have been to quite a few acupuncturists over the years and Pulse is by far my favorite and the most attentive. It is a full service of treating my back, front body and cupping (it does not feel rushed). I suffer from chronic neck pain from an old injury and go for postpartum symptoms relief. I always feel better after leaving. The office is beautiful and calming as well.

When I first came to Marina, I felt constant pressure in my lower back, tension in my upper back and lack of energy. During the first session I could literally feel something shifting inside in those areas she was working on. Her touch was so gentle that I didn’t even feel the needles go in. The time stopped, I was relaxed, calm and peaceful. Besides acupuncture I had some cupping done as well. The cups relieved a great deal of pressure from my upper and lower back. After the session I immediately felt the effect. Have my next session scheduled for next week. I would definitely recommend Marina to those seeking holistic ways to deal with muscle, spine, and pain issues. She is a miracle worker!

TMJ Acupuncture - FAQ

Acupuncture is an alternative therapy that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It can help alleviate TMJ symptoms by reducing muscle tension, improving blood flow, and promoting relaxation.

While acupuncture may provide relief for some individuals with TMJ disorder, its effectiveness can vary from person to person. Some people report significant improvement in pain and jaw function, while others may not experience as much benefit.

Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and licensed practitioner. However, there may be minor side effects such as temporary soreness, bruising, or slight bleeding at the needle insertion sites. Serious complications are rare.

Acupuncture can be used in conjunction with other TMJ treatments, such as physical therapy, jaw exercises, and lifestyle changes. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider who can help create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs.
