There are two words we repeatedly hear patients say after their session:
- One of these is “lighter,” as in “I feel lighter.” And we don’t think they mean that they lost weight during their session.
- The other word is “serene.” Patients often use this word to describe their overall experience with therapy.
TMJ Dysfunction CranioSacral Treatment
There are many contributing factors to TMJ, but at the end of the day, the primary cause is stress.
TMJ is going to manifest whenever you have an emotional, psychological or physiological situation that is challenging. It’s like an alarm going off, and any number of things can cause the alarm system to go off.
Dr. John Upledger, D.O., O.M.M., names the following five causes for TMJ. They include:
- Craniosacral system dysfunction –This system consists of the skull bones that protect the brain (cranium), and the sacrum, which is the main foundation bone at the base of the spine. Many of these bones are associated with mastication and can be culprits, but typically, it is the temporal bones that are easily pulled out of alignment by attached muscles and tendons that have abnormal strain or tension on them.
- Stress – whether physiological, psychoemotional or environmental – all tend to cause clenching and increased pressure on the temporomandibular joint.
- Neurological responses – clenching and grinding as a result of anger, fear, aggression, ongoing pain, post-traumatic stress, etc.
- Degenerative diseases – such as autoimmune, arthritis, and inflammatory conditions that adversely affect the temporomandibular joint
- Dental issues – teeth and jaw alignment
