How can you make tmj pain free?

Clenching Control: Any reduction in load forces to the tm joint will aid in preventing joint stiffness and reduce joint pain significantly. The only devise that can reduce these tremendous loading forces at night by 70 percent is the nti devise.

TMJ: Please see a dentist who can make you a hard nightguard and who is experienced in treating tmj. Hard nightguards/splints can successfully teat 90+% of TMJ cases.

A few ideas.: Depends on symptoms, and cause of symptoms. 3 signs of TMJ dysfunction: joint noises, joint pain & limited oral opening. Self treat with soft diet, jaw exercises, massage, heat/cold, OTC pain meds. A splint or physical therapy would be next. Occasionally muscle relaxants, biofeedback. Xrays are done for diagnosis. Surgery usually reserved for serious symptoms not responsive to other treatments.

Treatment: Many patients can get significant partial or full relief of pain with a program based on the Principles of Intrinsic Medicine.
