TMJ pain is pain in your face where your jaw bones come together. It can cause issues when someone is eating, speaking or clenching their jaw. It can be very painful and difficult to treat because there can be a number of causes and contributing factors.
Craniosacral therapy can help TMJ pain because it uses a gentle touch to relieve pressure, release restrictions and loosen up muscles and toxic free radical buildup.
Questions addressed in this video:
What is Craniosacral Therapy? According to Upledger Institute International, "CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety."
How does CST feel like? CST uses a light touch and very gentle movements so it is ideal for people with sensitivities and pain.
Can Craniosacral therapy help TMJ pain? Craniosacral therapy does treat TMJ pain. It can loosen muscle tension, misalignments and other potential causes of TMJ.
How long should it be before the person feels relief? Typically a person feels a difference after the first appointment although pain relief can be expected around appointment 3-5.
