TNJ is all too common these days. The temporomandibular joints get compressed and immobile due to tight temporalis muscles (the muscles that cover the temporal bones in the skull). The mandibles get locked, unable to move.
This chronic tension is a result of emotional stress, teeth grinding, and the misalignment of the temporomandibular joints themselves.
By using gentle pressure, a CranioSacral therapist decompresses the temporomandibular joints, and stretches the temporalis muscles.
Greater range of motion of the mandibles, softening of the temporalis muscles, and emotional release can occur with treatment. The suffering can cease, and life is good again.
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, effective solution to the treatment of TMJ. In a few sessions ( depending on the severity of pain) the pain and discomfort can cease and full function can be restored.
