Let Dr. Gaitsgory Help With Your TMJ Pain
May 29, 2014
Living with any sort of pain can be extremely hard and taxing on the body. TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder, can involve pain around the ears and jaw, leaving you in extreme discomfort. TMJ can cause insatiable headaches, clicking or popping noises of the jaw, damaged teeth, and tension in the jaw, neck, head, and shoulder muscles. Dr. Marianna Gaitsgory is able to relieve you of your TMJ disorder in the comfort of her Framingham, MA office.
The temporomandibular joint is a very sensitive joint, as it is located where the skull meets the lower jaw. If you experience high volumes of stress, that can be a contributing factor to your pain. Even small things like changes in your eating habits, changes in activity, and any sort of injury or trauma can cause the joint to go out of alignment. The way the temporomandibular joint works is it is surrounded by certain muscles that contract and relax, all of which make the opening and closing of your mouth effortless.
Other things that can affect your TMJ pain are certain diseases, like rheumatoid arthritis. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can also seriously exacerbate the pain, as clenching and overstressing of the muscles causes a lot of damage to the joint. Also, misaligned teeth and an off bite can create a misbalance with the way the joint and the muscles surrounding it work together. One of the ways Dr. Gaitsgory is able to relieve you of your TMJ pain is by offering it Night Guards, Bite Guards, and Bite Adjustments to her patients. These devices prevent your jaw from clenching, and Dr. Gaitsgory is able to recommend the best treatment option for you.
