Intraoral TMJ massage at Uma Clinic in Seattle
We are Intraoral massage & TMJ specialist in Seattle. It is a safe and effective manual technique that addresses muscles both inside and outside the mouth, neck and throat. It is an effective treatment for patients who suffer from TMJ dysfunction, clenching, grinding, painful clicking jaw, excess jaw tension, migraines, chronic sinus problems, head injuries, whiplash, strains from orthodontia or dental surgery after-effects, headaches, chronic ear congestion, tinnitus, emotional trauma, and chronic face and neck pain.
Although this technique can be quite intense, it is not necessarily painful. Since it deals with muscles that are rarely touched, they respond to less pressure. It is extremely beneficial and even helps balance the posture of the upper body. Gloves are worn while working inside the mouth to release the muscles and fascia involved with chewing and jaw clenching.
If you have been diagnosed with TMD or have pain in the jaw, near the ears, forehead, back of the head, neck, or shoulders intra-oral massage can bring relief. Many patients have been successfully treated for TMJ syndrome by using this technique. Additionally, some very forward-thinking oral surgeons prescribe intraoral massage as a non-invasive alternative to root canals.
As a TMJ specialist in Seattle we have observed that many issues arise from a history of trauma & stress. We suggest you complement your Intraoral massage with Somatic & Trauma Healing Therapies.
