Hello Friends! Happy New Year and I truly hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful. This video is about the jaw locking CLOSED - typically a very painful condition where the jaw cannot open more than 1-2 finger widths. In this video, I review exactly what's happening anatomically within the jaw joint when this occurs and how I treat it with a high success rate at my office. I also give some home care suggestions that may help loosen up tight tissue and increase range of motion; they likely won't get the jaw "unlocked" but may help with pain!
If you're unfamiliar with the term "fascia", I have included the definition below, as I found it on the Johns Hopkins website:
Fascia: Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up.
If you're unfamiliar with TMJ Disorders, common signs and symptoms include but are not limited to: headaches, neck pain, jaw pain, ear-related concerns, shoulder pain, specific tooth pain, jaw joint noises, and/or episodes of the jaw locking or catching.

This channel is all about TMJ disorders - what they are, how they manifest, what to do about them and how they relate to other issues that may be going unnoticed in the body such as tongue tie, sleep apnea, ADHD, and more! Thank you and I hope you enjoy my videos!
