A member asked:
Best ways to relieve tmj-associated muscle spasm/tension? heat or cold? ibuprofen, acetaminophen or muscle relaxer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ support: Best results from professionally fabricated occlusal orthotic (night guard). Cold 1st day, heat after that. Ibuprofen as per Dentist's instructions (don't self medicate), supplemented by muscle relaxant if indicated. Don't try to fix this yourself, get professional help.
