How to Relieve TMJ Pain at Home | 30 SECOND RELIEF

Dr. Rowe shows how to get quick TMJ pain relief at home, using NO EQUIPMENT.
Temporomandibular joint (commonly known as the TMJ) disorder is the result of excessive strain on the jaw joints and the muscles that control chewing, swallowing, and speech.
This can lead to extreme pain, headaches, difficultly chewing, and locking or clicking of the jaw.
We're going to focus on fixing TMJ pain by lengthening and strengthening the jaw muscles. To make it easy, well break this video up into two sperate parts.
In the first part, we'll go over specific muscle releases for instant relief (even within 30 seconds). The second part will focus on strengthening exercises for long-lasting relief. Make sure to go through both parts to get the best results.
Watch now and quickly fix TMJ pain at home!

[@jsin7747]

I am not gonna lie to you: I've been suffering from this for decades and my doctors never caught it. I thought i was having chronic sinus infections/problems my entire military career. The doctors always told me it wasn't my sinuses but also couldn't figure out what my problem was. I went for a supposed sinus problem a month ago and a civilian doctor told me it's not my sinuses it was my jaw muscles spasming. He prescribed muscle relaxants and i was averse to taking them at first but it helped. I looked up what could be doing this to me and found this video and the first five minutes did more for me than a month of doctor's appointments. Thank you.

I have been going through pain on my left side temple , left inner ear , left head and left jaw since a year. I have done 3 Brain MRI , PNS CT SCAN , TMJ SCAN , TOOTH SCAN , seen various dentist , TMJ Dr , ENT specialist Maxillofacial Dr , Chiropractor, Accupressure and trust me what not but nothing helped me from getting relief from the intense pain I have been going through 1 year disrupting my life completely... However seeing this video I 100 % feel that this pain is all related through my jaw going till my side temple , head and inner ear.. I'm very thankful to you for this video and I will start the excercise today itself to get rid of this pain.

[@vikky2355]

Those first couple massages are absolute gold. They feel incredible. I've been focusing a lot on massaging my neck near my jaw because I realized the connection between neck pain and jaw pain, but I never found a good way to massage the jaw muscles directly before. I've broken several teeth through excessive clenching....all chronic tension needs attention, but jaws are strong and when they get tense they can cause a significant amount of self-injury. This has to be my favorite video of his yet for how useful it is

[@DrRowe]

Glad you found the video, and I hope the exercises help you for a long time to come!

[@reginadickerson4822]

I grit my teeth 24/7 my jaw was disaline in the wreck 2009, my chiropractor adjusted it my de said good job, but it's really tight even down the side of the neck is so tight , my shoulder and right upper arm. I think all I've seen on it videos will help all my areas acquired from that wreck years ago.. Thank u for these great videos Doc😘

[@DrRowe]

Hope these exercises help you!

[@Suggest_Me_Books]

I have TMJ and I can’t begin to describe how much this helped me. I sometimes get flare ups from an old blunt force injury; I can usually manage with the typical home care measures but this time around was a different story. I had been in so much pain to the point I couldn’t chew, had difficulty speaking - which was impacting my job performance- and when the joint would slip I felt nauseous from the electric pain. My jaw felt like it was close to locking at times because it would stick. I was seriously considering calling my pcp because I haven’t had an episode like this in a while. Within 5 minutes I got so much relief, it went from a 8/10 pain to a 4/10. I’m still going to follow up with my pcp but the level of relief was so incredible. I can now open my jaw wider and can feel my muscles relax. I feel relaxed enough that I can finally sleep. I know it’s long winded but I truly can’t thank you enough.

[@marshallcrowe2926]

I just want you to know, that Knuckle massage worked WONDERS! I can't thank you enough! My pain went from unbearable to almost non existent! Incredible!

[@jennywalborn7769]

Thanks for these, been a TMJ sufferer for probably 30 years too. Not fun. I had to learn how to consciously always keep my jaw relaxed (while awake atleast), that helps. And I actually already figured out 3 of the exercises on my own....when you deal every day with it, you experiment with things that relieve tension(atleast I did. Thanks for all your help!

The stretches in this video help reduce it but I also went to my first physio appt recently so hopefully that helps more. I am getting my jaw and teeth checked out again next month from my oral surgeon and they are aware from the pain I’ve been experiencing. Hopefully they have a solution but I also am waiting for my family doctor to come back from vacation. I also grind my teeth at night as well. My retainer night guard isn’t helping anymore.

[@mytravls]

@@pseehra1 I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Hope you feel better. Could it be work anxiety that may be causing the issue?

[@pseehra1]

@@mytravls thanks for your concern! I hope you feel better as well! No work anxiety as my work is pretty chill. I’ve always had migraines for the past 5-6 years but I know for a fact that getting my teeth extracted made it worse. On top of that, they had to pull out an extra tooth beside my wisdom tooth because somehow the crown broke off… this resulted in having an extra 1 hr long oral surgery which I know strained my jaw even more. I was awake during the whole thing so I could tell how strained it was gonna be. Work doesn’t help as well cause it’s a desk job and I’m looking down at documents for a long time too. There’s a bunch of other things but it will be too long of a comment 😂!
