Isabela’s TMJ symptoms are gone after 7 weeks of Myofunctional Therapy!

Today Isabela shares about her experiences as a virtual Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy (OMT) patient. Isabela is a high school student who suffered from constant and severe jaw pain, severe jaw tension, limited jaw range of motion, jaw popping and jaw locking. Her symptoms were so severe that Isabela consumed primarily purees and liquids, as chewy, dense, and hard foods caused her symptoms to flare.
After 7 short weeks of virtual Myofunctional Therapy, Isabela’s symptoms have dramatically improved! Isabela no longer experiences jaw pain, jaw popping or jaw locking. She’s even back to eating the dense and crunchy foods she used to enjoy! Isabela’s success is the result of her deep commitment to home programming and changing some habits that were reinforcing her symptoms.
I’m so proud of Isabela’s dedication! My greatest privilege is empowering patients with tools and strategies to facilitate their own healing.

While I can't offer medical advice and can only offer education information (you should always consult your doctor before changing any habits/behaviors) consider checking out Cynthia Peterson's "The TMJ Healing Plan."

Congrats on Isabela recovering from TMJ, never heard of it but sounds annoying and rough. I suffer from anxiety and now out of nowhere while I've been doing better the past 6 months with rarely having attacks(unlike last year having a ton) I'm having dysphagia now, since March out of nowhere. My ENT says it's probably acid reflux and my anxiety coupled, as some days my throat feels dry, weird and find myself hesitating before I swallow. The odd thing is I'd wake up from sleep with this gagging, choking on my own swallow feeling before this started almost like that started it and got more into my head with drinks and food so I have to eat SUPER slow and carefully because I have this fear of choking now, can't get my swallow timing right it sucks....anyway, not sure if you've known anyone with a similar case. Soon I'll go for a barium swallow to see if my throat and esophagus are working correctly.
