TMJ Traumatic Injury, The Real Story
A young lady came to our clinic with a complaint of jaw pain, inability to open her mouth, eat and talk normally after having a strong blow of the baseball ball to her face. It was an acute injury that happened one or too days prior to her visit.
She said that yesterday she went to see her dentist seeking a possibility to resolve this harmful, awkward situation because not only she couldn’t continue to live with such a discomfort but also the next day after I saw her, she had to fly to a vacation.
The treatment took only 60 minutes. She left without pain, could easily open her mouth and consequently could eat and talk normally. I needled few points in the muscles located on her upper back to normalize the function of opening the mouth and some points on her face I used to balance the symmetry and eliminate the injury impact like she never had this problem in the future. And, of course, I had to eliminate the shock she received with the blow by helping brain to erase the harmful negative emotion she experienced from her memory.
Clinical Relevance
TMJ is not only musculo-skeletal health problem but also neurological condition and often shows in patients who are under great stress, not able to withstand strong negative impact, easily become disappointed or frustrated. Stress is easily affecting liver and gallbladder. To avoid feeling stress you should know how your mind and body correlate. You can find useful information by reading pages 11-49. To understand about liver and what thoughts and emotions can weaken liver function you can read on pages 83-93 in my book, Your MindBody Alliance & The Truth About Acupuncture.
Our clinical experience shows that people who are not educated in anatomy and physiology are not aware of how to preserve their health. The lack of knowledge and understanding how mind and body correlate leads people to feel out of control over their own health. Reading this book everyone becomes knowledgeable enough to withstand any body health problem and preserve one’s health.
