TMJ/TMD
TMJ/TMD causes a multitude of issues -- physically, emotionally, and perspectively.
Physically there's tension and pain. Emotionally there's constant irritation and anger which may result in hyper vigilance. Perspectively life is not safe, risk is everywhere.
TMJ/TMD can be caused by:
-
Fall on the chin
-
Punch to the chin or jaw
-
Dental issues which force chewing on one side
-
Neck injury which rotates the head to one side
-
Head trauma
-
Fall on tailbone which overtime may result in deviated neck alignment
TMJ/TMD often is just part of a set of visible and invisible symptoms. Some of them are anger, depression, tension, PTSD, migraine, neck/shoulder/back pains, past emotional trauma, etc. TMJ/TMD is a baseline stress that needs to be resolved. At Mindfully Centered, we've good success treating TMJ/TMD -- not with needles but understanding and sensitivity in restoring proper alignments.
