Today on the Holistic Dentistry Show, Dr. Sanda speaks to Dr. Bryn Aitken-Young, an Integrated Physical Therapist, about the healing power of neurokinetic therapy, how it relates to dentistry, and how it eliminates pain so that the body can move more.  Neurokinetic therapy supercharges physical therapy by treating both the immediate source of pain in the body as well as treating the source of the dysfunctional movement in the brain. This technique can be applied to any area of the body experiencing pain for long-lasting results. Truly incredible! Dr. Aitken-Young shares how her work pairs brilliantly with dentists, such as for helping patients with TMJD or breathing problems. In fact, Dr. Aitken-Young believes that, like a dentist's biannual check-up, a neurokinetic therapist should also be consulted often for preventative movement checkups.

Physician Assistant and prior C&P examiner Leah Bucholz discusses What to Expect in a TMJ Veterans Disability C&P Exam.Leah discusses the Temporal Mandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD), a condition many veterans suffer from, and its relationship with VA disability. TMJD can be related to service either primarily (diagnosed during service and persistent thereafter) or secondarily (related to other conditions like mental health issues or facial injuries). Veterans filing a claim for TMJD will likely undergo a Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam, mostly conducted by contract companies, not the VA. During the exam, dental professionals evaluate the veteran using a Disability Benefits Questionnaire for TMJ, which focuses heavily on the range of motion of the jaw. Ratings for disability due to TMJD can range up to 50% based on several variables, including diet and jaw movement limitations. Leah emphasizes consulting legal professionals to understand the ratings and refers to her other videos for more insights on TMJD.

Did you know your body traps all of your trauma? I didn't, not until I was recently diagnosed with TMJD and researched where and why this comes from. Sure, the reasons are plain and clear but when you dig a little deeper you start to see how your trauma was what caused these reasons to begin with. Take a listen as I talk about my new journey of having to heal my physical body as I learn more and more about the body keeping score.

If you have pain in your or experience clicking or popping sounds, then you may be suffering temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). We all have a tendency to experience this pain, but you don't have to live with it. There are natural non-invasive solutions that work like magic to relieve. If you want to get relief from your TMJD, the good news is that a Chiropractor can help you with alignments and soft tissue treatments to help loosen up your jaws and relieve pain. The interesting part is that these chiropractic procedures are quick and provide fast relief to pesky TMJD. Let's quickly review TMJD before talking more on chiropractic help on this condition. What is TMJD? TMJD also known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is term used to describe acute or chronic inflammation of the TMJ – temporomandibular joints, which connects your jaws to your skull. TMJD is often used to describe a wide variety of conditions affecting the TMJ, facial nerves, and jaw muscles. This dysfunction is quite common among younger people and it can be caused by a number of factors, including teeth grinding, trauma/direct injury to the jaw, and degenerative joint diseases, such as arthritis and autoimmune diseases. Most times, TMJD is accompanied by a wide range of symptoms including headaches, ear pain, neck pain, jaw pain when chewing or biting, tinnitus, jaw stiffness, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, etc. If you experience any of these symptoms for a long period, you may be experiencing TMJD, and it is advisable that you take quick action to correct it.  Luckily, you can get natural relief through alignment and soft tissue procedure. How a chiropractor can help with alignment and soft tissue techniques for TMJD Chiropractors are experts on conditions relating to the spine and nervous system. At our Chiropractic office at Elizabeth City NC, we've worked on a number of TMJD cases and help our patients get relief from the chronic pains and symptoms associated with this condition. When you visit our office with jaw pain, we focus on three key muscles – the masseter, the pterygoid, and the temporalis.  We also work on the suboccipital muscles, top two vertebrae and the TMJ itself to make sure everything is properly aligned. Your masseter is a thick muscle in the upper jaw area that controls chewing. Your temporalis is a thinner muscle on each side of your head that also controls chewing but covers a broader area than the masseter, including regions around your temples. At our chiropractic office, we walk you through some soft tissue techniques that work on your masseter and the temporalis to relieve jaw pain. After soft tissue work, we move on to adjust and assess the jaw using chiropractic TMJD adjustment. After this process, we reassess to see if the joint is realigned. Most times, we help patients with TMJD and accompanying pain enjoy fast relief. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office in Elizabeth City, NC to schedule an appointment for alignment and soft tissue work you're your chiropractic TMJD adjustment.    

What is the difference between TMJ and TMJD? - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor A lot of times, patients with jaw pain ask me, “Doctor Jason, What is the difference between TMJ and TMJD?” Well, it can be confusing for people to understand some medical terms. But I will tell you about the difference between TMJ and TMJD in this piece, perhaps you also want to know. Firstly, note that TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, while TMJD stands for temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Literally, TMJ refers to the joint itself and TMD refers to pain, inflammation or disorders of that joint. Sometimes, people use TMJ and TMD interchangeably, but there is a clear-cut difference between the two. Let's take a deeper dive to understand these two terms better. What is TMJ – The Temporomandibular Joint? The TMJ is a delicate joint that connect your jaw to your cheekbones. This joint is located just next to each of your ears and it allows you open your mouth, speak, chew, and even yawn. The TMJs are special because they have a unique hinging and sliding mobility allowing your jaws to move to the right and left, move forward and backward, and open. TMJs are two – one on each side of your head. You can check out their functions by placing a finger in front of each ear, and then open and close your jaw. If the joints are in good shape, you will notice the muscles moving over the lower jaw up and down and side to side. A small cartilage disc encased by a dense fibrous capsule is also located in the joint in front of your ear. This prevents your jawbone from grinding against your skull bones. The proper function of the TMJs depends on each other and on the teeth, since these joints are connected to the jaw.  However, due to the delicate nature of this joint, it is prone to becoming inflamed, irritated, or damaged. Usually when this happens, you may have issues with opening your mouth, speaking, or chewing. This is often accompanied with pain and discomfort. What is TMJD – Temporomandibular Joint Disorder? TMJD refers to the various disorders that affect the TMJ. Several factors could cause damage to the TMJ, including: Excessive gum chewing Nightly teeth grinding Injury Inflammation Infection Deterioration due to autoimmune diseases like arthritis Some common symptoms of TMJD include pain in the jaw and face, tenderness of the jaw muscles, locking or clicking of the jaw when moving it, difficulty chewing, and muscle spasms. Sometimes, you may experience earaches, headaches, dizziness, and even back and neck pain. However, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, TMD disorders are classified into three categories, namely: Internal derangement of the joint involving dislocated jaw, displaced disc, or injury to the condyle/joint Pain in the muscles that control jaw function Arthritis-related issue that are inflammatory/degenerative joint disorders                                                                                                                                         So there you have it, the clear-cut difference between TMJ and TMJD. Do not confuse both terms anymore. You can visit Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office at Elizabeth City, NC, to learn about natural solutions for TMJD and how alignment and soft tissue work helps to resolve the problem.  

Causes of TMJD - Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction - Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Around 12% of people in the US experience TMJD – temporomandibular joint dysfunction at any one time. Statistics show that women are more affected than men. And 9 women to every 1 man experience restricted jaw movement in their lifetime. Understand the causes of TMJD, however, is important to help you manage the condition. You need to know factors that predispose you to TMJD and the common symptoms to watch out for. In this article, we shall be showing you the common causes of TMJD and other relevant details you should know. But first let's briefly revise the meaning of TMJ and TMJD. What are TMJ and TMJD? TMJ or temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jawbone to your cheekbones. You have one TMJ on each side of your jaw and it allows for the movement required for talking and chewing. Since these joints allow for movement of your jaw from side to side as well as up and down, they represent one of the most complex joints in the body. TMJD or temporomandibular joint dysfunction are conditions that affect TMJ and cause pain in your jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. What are the causes of TMJD? The exact cause of an individual's TMJD may be hard to determine. Doctors believe symptoms arise from problems with the jaw muscles or parts of the joint itself. However, some factors could trigger pains, including arthritis or jaw injury, or genetics. Some other causes of TMJD include: Heavy trauma to your jaw from an accident Improper bite Displacement of the disc between the ball and socket Tightening your facial and jaw muscles due to stress Pressure on the TMJ from grinding or clenching your teeth Sinus problems, gum disease, and tooth decay What are the common symptoms of TMJD? If you have TMJD, you tend to experience both temporary or chronic pain and discomfort. However, diagnosis is important, since there are many signs and symptoms that may point to “temporomandibular joint.” Here are a few of the most common signs and symptoms of TMJD: Headaches Jaw dislocation Neck aches Earaches Stiff or locked jaw in the open and close mouth position Clicking, grating, or popping sound in the joint when you open your mouth or close it Dental occlusion (the way the upper and lower jaw or teeth fit together. Being unable to open your mouth very wide Tenderness or pain around the face, ear, neck, or shoulders when chewing, speaking, or opening your mouth.                                                                                                      Keep in mind that noises or clicking that occur when you move your jaw are not always associated with TMJD. It is only when the sounds are accompanied by pain or restricted movement of the jaw that it can be described as TMJD. Most times, TMJD resolve on their own after a couple of months and symptoms are mild with minimal inconvenience. But in some severe cases, TMJD can be serious and long lasting. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our chiropractic office at Elizabeth City, NC, to learn about other potential causes of TMJD and natural solutions you can embrace to enjoy relief.

As a dentist's daughter, I have to admit I was always spoiled when it came to my dental health. That is, until a terrible root canal (is there any other kind?) made me realize I had to start taking my dental health more seriously, even if that involved wearing the dreaded night guard I had cast aside many years before. It also got me thinking: ‘Wait, is this another thing that is somehow related to my ADHD?'    After diving into the research and taking a poll in our Facebook group, I discovered that an overwhelming number of ADHDers have experienced dental problems at some point in their lives, and there are some explanations as to why.    Join me for a solo episode, where I break down the causes of this correlation, and share helpful suggestions from our Facebook group members, and hopefully convince you to learn from my mistakes and wear your damn night guard!

Florencia Melo facilitates communication spaces with the body so that people connect with their authenticity and understand the impact of stress on the body and emotions to improve their quality of life.What is TMJD?Temporomandibular dysfunction is a problem in this joint and may end up causing jaw pain, headaches, neck pain, limited mouth opening and clicking when moving the jaw.What is bruxism?Bruxism is the habit of teeth grinding, usually during sleep. Bruxism is an abnormal clenching or grinding of the teeth, either while awake or during sleep. Bruxism may play a role in temporomandibular disorders (TMD), although the exact link is unclear. Florencia does it through workshops, classes and individual sessions with the Be Soma method that combines body exercises based on yoga and muscle chains, the development of interoception and mindfulness. This is an integrated mind-body balancing technique. This method is based on our understanding and experience of working with the human body {physical and energetic}. The SOMA technique allows us to access relevant information from the mental, physical and emotional spheres, delving into the deepest layers of the subconscious mind, to help identify and clear the origin of imbalances and triggers which contribute to illness. Through a new specially designed technique, she creates an individual program to help each person to enhance their healing ability, helping them to access and achieve their full potential, ie returning their original blueprint. Scientific research suggests that most illnesses originate in the energy field.Although she works independently, she comes from the corporate world where she worked for 8 years in communication departments. Currently, she does do some short stories and media collaborations on health and wellness and would like to continue developing.Content and activities on Instagram: @flopiom and in medium https://medium.com/@f.armadamelo_________________________________________________________________________________________We are passionate about empowering you to take control of your health and well-being.  We strive to expand awareness and knowledge by providing a simple approach combining the latest breakthroughs of modern science, technology with ancient wisdom.

Orofacial Myofunctional Disorders (OMD) interrupt normal movement patterns, and can effect proper chewing and swallowing. But there is hope with Myofunctional Therapy.Many individuals with OMDs have early delays when it comes to eating and swallowing. They end up with picky eating patterns as a result of their lack of oral coordination that is necessary in the first three years of life. Speech patterns can also be impacted since many OMDs are typically associated with the tongue, lip and jaw movement.Since the early 1900s, orthodontists have documented their concerns about OMDs. Without addressing the issues, an individual could experience:Long-term mouth-breathing patterns that can compromise healthy breathing overallDetrimental oral habits that can inhibit or impede healthy growth and developmentAtypical chewing and swallowing patternsImproper tooth development or alignmentImproper jaw growth and facial structure developmentImpact to any long-term orthodontic treatment stability, with possible malocclusion relapseNegative impact on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)Distortion of speechNegative social relationships because of open mouth, or noisy chewing and swallowingSleep disordered breathing patterns due to improper tongue positionAn individual can also experience issues like chronic face, neck and back pain; tooth grinding and clenching; headaches, TMJD or TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction); tinnitus; and vertigo. It's important to address what is contributing to the OMD before any treatment can begin. Once the cause or bad habit is determined, Myofunctional Therapy can initiate proper chewing and swallowing and help teach new and healthy patterns of behavior.If you'd are experiencing and OMD issue, please contact the specialists at Airway & Sleep Group.

Waking up in pain is the worst! You should feel refreshed after sleep, however when you have temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD), you can wake up feeling anything but rejuvenated. TMJD, often known as TMJ, is unique to each person, and the symptoms and causes are specific to the individual. One of the first ways to start addressing your disorder is to evaluate your sleep since some of the worst strain can happen overnight. Best Positions for Sleep The position you sleep in can influence a number of TMJ issues by straining the face, jaw and shoulder muscles. The type of pain can depend on how well your neck and head are supported, and if you are creating tension in your jaw by grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep. However, if you suffer from sleep disordered breathing, you might need to sleep on your side, making sure your head and neck have enough support. The worst position for TMJ is to sleep on your stomach, followed by sleeping on your side. Both can take your posture out of alignment. The best sleep position for TMJ is on your back. This helps by: Supporting your head, neck and shoulders Properly aligning the body Eliminating pressure on the jaw Reducing chances of grinding or clenching your teeth What is TMJ? TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull in front of each ear. It enables you to move your jaw up and down, side to side, and backwards and forward so you can talk, chew, yawn or swallow. Problems with the muscles and joints in this area are called TMJ disorders. If you suddenly experience pain in your jaw, you might be alarmed, but chances are it's not serious. Sore muscles and sudden jaw pain can be the result of a dental issue or strain. But are these symptoms of TMJ disorders? Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders occur when there are one or more problems within the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The shock-absorbing disk that aids the jaw movement can become worn or slip out of alignment, or the muscles supporting the TMJ could be strained by grinding and clenching of your teeth while you sleep, for example. Both can cause sore muscles and jaw pain in a chronic fashion rather than a sudden onset. Symptoms of TMJ disorders can include: Jaw tenderness Pain when opening or closing the mouth Pain or difficulty chewing Joint locking when the mouth is in a closed or open position Earache Clicking or popping when the jaw moves Issues and habits that can cause pain and may lead to a TMJ disorder include: Clenching or grinding teeth Nail, cheek or lip biting Teeth misalignment or damage Jaw infection or injury Cartilage or tissue damage Sleep disordered breathingIt is not easy to find the specific cause of TMJ disorders since multiple factors may be involved. If you are exhibiting symptoms, make an appointment with Dr. Calkins, to gain more information visit the website: www.airwayandsleepgroup.com, we will start with an evaluation of your TMJ with the highest technology available and in conjunction with Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Dr. Calkins can evaluate the cause of your sore muscles and jaw pain, discover whether these are symptoms of TMJ, and prescribe remedies that can help.

It’s located near your ear. Why does it happen? It can be difficult to figure out exactly why this happens. Genetics, jaw injury, arthritis, or damage, like from grinding teeth, can all lead to TMJD. How is it fixed? Dr. Lamarche has taken special training that can help correct the misalignment in the neck or jaw area, as well as provide therapeutic exercises. www.facebook.com/drjlamarche www.instagram.com/drjlamarche drjlamarche@gmail.com

Dr. Steven Rupp hails from the Midwestern farmland of Iowa where he was raised on his family's crop farm. He attended the University of Northern Iowa, achieving his undergraduate bachelor's degree while simultaneously completing school for Massage Therapy in his second year. After working as a Licensed Massage Therapist for two years, Dr. Rupp continued his pursuit of Chiropractic in Minneapolis MN at Northwestern Health Sciences University. While at university Dr. Rupp pursued many fields of specialty from geriatrics and balance correction to specific conditions like Jaw pain (TMJD), neck and low back pain, and headache/migraines. After graduation, Dr. Rupp moved to Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where he worked in a team at one of the largest natural healthcare clinics in Manitoba. During this time, Dr. Rupp came to further appreciate and see the excellent results in patient outcomes that came from being a member of a group practice. Growing up on a farm, Dr. Rupp learned first-hand the value that chiropractic had to meet the demand of physical work by witnessing firsthand the stresses of farm life, from seeing it help with back pain to headaches to overall health and wellness. As he learned more, Dr. Rupp realized how much chiropractors could do to take care of people without the use of drugs and surgery. Outside of the office, Dr. Rupp enjoys spending time outside, hiking, running, taking care of his many plants, and exploring all the great trails in and around Juneau.
