Do I have TMJ? (Ep 1)

Open Up is a Podcast that reveals the truth about TMJ pain.  Pain in and around the head is confusing. Is it a migraine, tension headache, earache or TMJ?  Pam and Mac give you simple Do It Yourself exercises so you can find out for yourself if you have TMJ. They also describe non-painful TMJ which affects the way the jaw opens and closes.  If you have a hard time eating a hamburger because you can’t open wide, odds are you have TMJ.  If your jaw joint makes noise, odds are you have TMJ.  Is your head pain a migraine or is it TMJ? What does your “bite” have to do with TMJ?

In this Episode:

Trigeminal Nerve is responsible for all the pain in your face.

Ear pain can be exclusively from the TMJ joint.

Head pain is usually caused by muscle pain from overworked muscles that operate the jaw.

The only way to prevent adult TMJ is to start with proper treatment of the child during their developmental stage.
