anyone have physio for tmj??

@tisme I've had massage for tempomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. I've had TMJ problems off and on over the years. The time I went for massage was following a new crown placed by my dentist and this slight change, even with all the adjustments to my "bite" and with the crown set off terrible pain for me. The massage therapist I saw was trained to work inside the mouth (she wore gloves and this wass before COVID). I went to two treatments and the massage was not pleasant but it really helped a lot. My massage therapist was trained and certified in neuromuscular massage.

Have you tried something like this?

Hi. I have had TMJ for 20 years and have had lots of PT over those years. I recently had my first Reclast Infusion and I have had no problems. However, I am mindful of jaw concerns moving forward. I use a balm at night, or when needed that relaxes my jaw and really works for me. I apply it right on my jaw line up to the base of my ear.
There is menthol in it so it can irritate your eyes and that is why I use it at bedtime when eyes are closed. I also do deep breathing exercises before hand to lend to relaxation. It is called: ACTIVATE MUSCLE MX CBD BALM, 350 MG CBD. My TMJ is a stess response, in otherwords it is where I carry tension/stress. If you are interested, I can send you a picture of the balm. If find a photo helpful when trying to find things online. I wish everyone the very best. Sue

@sbauer415 I said elsewhere that night teeth grinding thru some sort of trauma exlained my jaw pain many years ago. It was doagnsied by a trainee dentist, not a qualified one.

That's great that the balm helps you. I'd appreciate a pic or a link if you can provide it. Thanks for mentioning a product that helps you. All the best.
