Jaw-dropping Insights: Tackling TMJ Dysfunction with Corinne Visscher | Ep. 061

[@Am_irPT]

Ive noticed that the majority of patients admitted for clinical intervention for TMD, although broad, is due to internal derangement of the temporomandibular joint, non inflammatory displacement or osteoarthrosis. The development varies from joint clicking to pain during limited/ restricted opening.

Hi, I am a physiotherapist. My girlfriend grinds her teeth a lot, has a diagnosed depression and is very sensitive to pain. This video made me aware of her maybe having TMJ disorder

[@edisonbuenaobra2762]

She may have chronic nociplastic pain. Central sensitization.

I live on Long Island… can you refer me to someone?

[@Marilyn-h4m6f]

My jaw wants to lock up. I have to wear my night guard during the day to stop lock ups. Only Xanax helps. I’m in agony really and can’t find help. My jaw was damaged during a violent tooth extractions.

I hate the biopsychosocial model of medicine. People have displaced discs, stretched and damaged ligaments, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and whatever other mechanical problems in there. How they feel about it or think about it has nothing to do with it. Stopped watching.

[@joshboston2323]

That is so short sighted. The biopsychosocial model does not exclude the biomechanical dimension... Also, your suggestion that how people think about their condition has nothing to do with the clinical presentation, is incredibly unscientific.

[@NinoMaluri]

@@joshboston2323 Yes, it does exclude biomechanical, or at least limits it to a great extent. Once you hop onto the psychosocial nonsense of medicine, you stop looking for a cause of a condition, and you tell people something stupid such as reduce stress, meditate, take a vacation, or whatever other nonsense that's never going to help them. How people think and feel does have something to do with their condition, but not much. How you feel about a bullet to your head doesn't matter all that much. You need a surgeon, you need the bullet removed, you need stitches, you need a brain scan, and so on and so forth. It is what it is.

[@NinoMaluri]

​@@joshboston2323 i replied to you, but my comment has been deleted it seems. I wont waste my time replying again. Youre wrong.

[@thomasofarrell5524]

Gosh, for the sake of the profession, I really hope that you’re not a physical therapist…

[@NinoMaluri]

@@thomasofarrell5524 I'm not. I wouldn't stoop that low. I have morals and standards. My soul is not for sale.
