TMJ Can be Caused by Anxiety and Body Position
TMJ (short for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) is a disorder concerning the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. This disorder often results in dysfunction in the movements and position of the jaw, which aggravates over time if left untreated. It is estimated that over 11 million Americans may suffer from TMJ at any given time.
People with TMJ have a great amounts of discomfort and pain in the neck and jaw area. They may also experience migraines and may even have fibromyalgia eventually.
Some "experts" claim TMJ is caused by continued movement of the jaw beyond its normal limits, such as forward or sideways, which may in turn be caused by excessive gum chewing, nail biting, dental neglect, or trauma (accident).
Yet despite avoiding all its known causes, many individuals still suffer from TMJ. What could be causing this? Could it be due to a new, exciting cause that would make one take a new look at TMJ?
Well, yes and no. Yes because only a few people know about these new causes, and no, because in the first place, these are what really causes TMJ, so they shouldn't surprise you.
Anxiety is the first cause.
Do you remember what happens when you feel scared, apprehensive, or anxious? Your muscles become tight, you shiver, your jaw tightens. What happens when you feel this regularly?
When you experience aches and pains that seem to appear out of nowhere, are you puzzled that these pains seem to have no physical cause at all?
Well, now you know what caused them. And when you unconsciously set your jaw whenever you go through your daily dose of stress, it may eventually add up to a TMJ problem.
The second cause is wrong body positioning.
Our parents have often told us to sit up and walk straight when we were kids. You probably did not listen if you are suffering from back problems now.
The same is true for TMJ. Wrong jaw positions - too far out or in - is caused by sitting the wrong way or sitting too much.
When you see women in developing countries carry heavy loads directly on top of their heads in one of the Discovery Channel programs, aren't you amazed that they can carry these loads and not suffer from any shoulder, neck, and jaw problems?
The simple reason is because they carry the loads directly over their heads. This makes the muscles in their neck and shoulders sustain the weight the way they are naturally designed to do.
The moment they tip their heads forward, the weight would suddenly cause them to tip forward and lose their balance.
Do you see the relationship?
Your head, when it's straight over the body, isn't that heavy at all. But when you tip forward, it begins to feel quite a bit heavier. Your neck and shoulder muscles often can't carry the extra load, and your jaw has to help out to keep the head level.
Over time, TMJ disorder happens because of the extra strain.
Most of the time, doctors give painkillers to reduce the pain of TMJ, but these do not work in the long term. These medication only give temporary relief, but do not solve the root causes of TMJ.
My TMJ No More program does just that. With simple exercises that relax the muscles around the TMJ and restore the jaw's natural position, it addresses TMJ at its source, effectively ending the misery caused by this disorder.
Does it work? Apparently, hundreds of my customers who have tried it themselves definitely think so. Check out my TMJ No More program and see what brought the smiles back on their faces.
Warm Regards,
Christian Goodman
