Thank you so much, this is more thorough information than any dentist or doctor has been able to give me, and now I finally know I can do something about it at home! the animations and explanations of where certain muscles were and how to locate them were very precise and easy to follow.
I've tried many things for tmj most helpful is a very thin pillow for sleeping on my back. It opens up and relaxes the neck and the jaw unlike a regular sized pillow which pushes the head and jaw forward.
You are awesome Priya Mistry. This video helped me tremendously. I been suffering with TMJ pain for week and tried all other UA-cam video's but nothing like this one. This video is sooo helpful thank you for making it.
Thank you for sharing!! I thought something was wrong with me the pain, dizziness, discomfort. Didn’t know my discomfort had a name tmj!! Wish you had a office in California. Truly appreciate your videos!
YOU'RE MY HERO. Seriously, the lateral pterygoid exercise was SO helpful! I've been having pain there for maybe 2 months and this is precisely where it hurts and the exercise provided immediate relief and my lymph nodes started draining. THANK YOU
Thanks a lot for this video..very informative, especially the exercises...yesterday had been to a tmj specialist here in Tamilnadu and she wasnt very impressive..she pressed thw trigger points for addressing the issues but that caused more pain and then was asked to take tense, ultrasound ot laser treatment for pain.i walked out saying i need a break..i feel few doctors need to be mote empathetic to underatand that a patient may already be in a lot of pain and not massaging these points after triggering them may mean more suffering for the patient atleast for few hrs..i came bk home with great difficulty and so much of pain and disbelief on d sad state of affairs in this modern time ..even looking and doing the few exercises once (u have said in this video) has given me lot of confidence that i will be able to get over this pain asap..thanks a ton and lots of gratitude for making these hideos available to all..Hare krsna ❤❤❤❤❤
I had slight TMJ and then broke my after a seizure. Since I’ve been to several doctors who have told me they can’t do anything. It’s my first time watching this video I did the exercises and for the first time in years feel the muscle less tense. Definitely going to keep up with this and watch the other videos
God Bless you!! It's 1am, I've had it for yrs, never no relief,,it was so bad, was crying again and I take strong pain meds for other things, didn't even help this,, but you did. So I wrote stuff down a I'll be following you.
You're indeed a great TMJ doctor Ma'am Pistry. I have been suffering from this pain for over a week. Among all of the videos I've watch in youtube, this is the only one who is really effective to me. While I'm watching your video, I'm doing it as well and jesus christ it lessen my pain. Your videos are such a blessing for us. Thank you so much Dr. Pistry 💛
Thank you so much . I was crying with pain when i came across this video. I felt a lot pain relief immediately after trying the exercise . Thank u so much. I woke up with pain because i have a habit of putting hand under jaw while sleeping and i was not aware of the reason . Thank you it made me understand the reason better.
Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙏 May you be so blessed in all areas of your life ❤️🙏 I’m so grateful and thankful for you and your knowledge
Thank You so much Dr. Mistry your video has been invaluable especially the supplement recommendations thank you! 🙏 I've been taking magnesium for a few months now and I had no idea I had to double my calcium intake with it. I mean I had calcium supplements but I just didn't take them as regularly as I did with the magnesium. Anyway the Ligaplex I is 100% my next buy because I believe whole heartedly that my extremely chronic muscular TMD on my left side was caused by an overextension of my jaw in January of this year and I've been reeling with the chronic muscularly tension/ aching for 9 months . And for the last two and half months, ear clicking on my left side as well after finishing a sentence or exhaling. So I do believe its still in the acute state and perhaps healing my damaged ligament to some capacity will break the cycle. Had Botox earlier in the month and that really helped with the Masseter Pain but didn't seem as effective this time around on my Temporalis. I know it could be worse but I think people truly underestimate how life altering TMD can be and how deeply it can diminish your quality of life when your symptoms become so chronic they just feel never ending. Wish there were more docs like your Dr Mistry. Thank you for your video 🙌
Thanks for your video and more power to you. Am following you now since I felt I have TMJ situation cuz when I open my mouth to eat I feel discomfort and cracking joint on right side of my jaw. It happened few months ago and gone, and now I have experience this condition. Again thank you.
I deal with TMJ all the time. My jaw has been tenser than normal lately, but when I woke up from a nap earlier today the entire right side of my jaw hurt, down to the roots of my teeth. And every time I opened my jaw, it felt like I was dislocating it. Now, my teeth still hurt, but my jaw isn't popping when I open it anymore, and pain is down from and eight to a four. So progress!
I'm binge watching your channel. This is great info. Do you have any Canadian colleagues that specializes in TMJ or do I need to fly down to WA? I'm in Alberta and I've been suffering with TMJ pain and muscle spasming since I was 18, I'm 29 now. I'm reaching the point in my life where I'm willing to travel to whomever is willing to put in the effort in diagnosing the root cause, especially since insurance doesn't wanna cover anything TMJ related anyway 🙄. I'm tired of going to consultations where the ask me if I grind (I don't) or if I'm stressed (sometimes, but not nonstop for 11 years) and then recommends me a nightguard for grinding anyway. I don't grind, I sleep with my jaw slack and sometimes drool on my pillow. I've had 4 pre-molars and 4 wisdom teeth extracted as part of my ortho treatment (everything was shifted forward, my wisdom teeth grew in but I was told to extract them anyway) so my theory is that my bite position, although straight and functional, has resulted in joint misalignment, which in turn is causing muscle spasms. And no one seems to care or want to help me find a solution meanwhile my face and temples are in a perpetual state of agony 😭😭 halp
This is a great video; thanks so much. I've watched a few others and plan to watch more. So much helpful information. I have a question on the calcium/magnesium supplement. The one on the video has a 6 to 1, calcium to magnesium, ratio, rather than the recommended 2 to 1 ratio. Is there another product you could recommend that does have the 2 to 1 ratio? I've looked a bit, but have been unsuccessful. Or is the 6 to 1 also acceptable? Thank you.
I believe I heard you say that relaxing particular muscles will also help my voice, which I find lacking, especially in the lower registers. But I persisted in looking for it in vain. Or did I learn that from another TMJ video? Nevertheless, your advice helped me stop experiencing excruciating TMJ pain one night, and it might have even cured my bruxism. Thank you very much.
Thank you for the useful information. I will follow your advice for my chronic neck pain. I wasn’t aware of the important calcium/magnesium ratio in supplementation. Also, the warm neck pillow sounds very therapeutic. 😊
Im trying your "teeth to teeth" exercise and that seems to be helping relax the tension in my jaw (right side). Have you heard about a "gall blader/tmj" connection? Oriental medicine describes a "gall blader meridian" which runs from tmj (and temple) to back of neck, down rigjt side of back and into gall blader region. That is exactely the pattern of the muscle tension in my body. Very interesting but hard to determine "what is causing what"!!!
Yes! That means you’re making contact with the displaced disc. For more information on “displaced disc” please watch “jaw joint noises - snap, crackle, pop”
thank you so much for this video, but i have quick question though is it true that if you have missing teeth and you have tmj, theres a possibility that when you get old you will lose your hearing?
@@theTMJdoc Thank you. I'd just spent months in pain, (as I try to start a business and an income) and a day lost to pain taking large doses of meds. I know it will be back. The oral/face massage is really painful! But it will help over time, I'm thinking. Great info here.
Dear Priya you are amazing 👏 1 question I have tmj on my left side, since i developed tmj i also developed sensitivity to high pitched sounds Even when i touch my tmj i can feel vibration sound Have you noticed anything like that before ?
Hi dear doctor Priya. I’m not sure my pain is the symptoms of TMD, because my daw never pops or clicks, nor do I have neck pain or ear pain. My pain is mostly located way I the left side of the mouth all the way to the throat, and spread to the back of my left tongue. I don’t have pain when I open my mouth, but when I bite a piece of food using my front teeth, it does trigger the pain. And the pain often feels like multiple needles pierce my jaw and my tongue and my jaw. I’m taking gabapentin or carbamazepine alternatively. But lately they don’t seem to ease my pain. Btw, I don’t feel any pain if I don’t move my mouth. Do you think this is TMJ disorder or something else? Thank you so much!
Hi Doctor Mistry, I've been watching these videos for a while trying to find relief for my TMJ symptoms. My TMJ is only on my left side, my jaw pops whenever I open my mouth too wide. My main concern is mandibular nerve pain - when I touch the underside of my left jaw it is extremely tender and almost like touching exposed nerves. I don't have clenching or muscle pain issues. Would you still recommend the supplements and jaw massages/exercises for these symptoms? I truly appreciate these videos ❤
Thank you very much Dr Mistry (excuse me for the approximative English I've used Google Translate, I'm French) your advice, explanations and exercises help me a lot and give me a lot of motivation and positivity since I have been following you assiduously! I have a question, however, that has been worrying me since little, I saw in a video (by a French physiotherapist) recently that during massages of the temporal muscle it's necessary to avoid friction on the temporal artery, apart from it happened to me during strong tensions towards the front of the ear and temple area to exert pressure to untie the muscle knots, what's the risk of these strong pressures on or near the temporal artery in your opinion? Thank you again for all your thorough and documented work, your dedication to people with this type of pain!
Where at the bottom can I order? I’ve been applying heat instead of cold. You are awesome I wake-up looking for your videos. Never stop, you are great. I would like order some tools you have suggested but I don’t know where below I can order.
Love watching your videos. As I live in Florida I cannot come to your office. Might you have any recommendations for a TMJ Doc in NE Florida ( Jacksonville area)? Thank you so much.
thank you for all your videos! you are very clear in your explanations. I suffer from chronic throat pain (sometimtes feels like something is stuck in my throat, high up in my neck), which i believe is associated with my terrible clenching. I have read that the medial pterygoid muscle can be involved. can you explain this? I'm hoping my throat painwill magically disappear as I attempt to relax and stretch my neck and jaw muscles. please advise. thank you!!
Hi There! I wish I could explain the throat pain. It can be due to TMJD or it could be something else. I'd recommend getting your thyroid checked as well. Sorry - I wish I had a better explanation but this is not a symptom I see often.
Thanks for the video Doctor. This is my second day of this strange pain and discomfort. Hope your measures gonna help me get rid of it. Can I come back to you for a personal consultation here?

hi doc. as always very informative. i wanted to order the ligaplex 1 and 2 for my patients but the link is not working. actually, link doesn't work for any videos. can u please help me with the links? thanking you in anticipation
Is it possible to have voice variation and feeling like one side of the vocal box is closed causing tiredness in speech associated with tmjd? Does braces treatment help if the tmjd is associated with a missing tooth and related teeth misalignment as the root cause?
I don't recommend braces as treatment for TMJD even if one of the causes is misalignment of teeth. Once TMJD has started, it's best to treat the muscles and joints and get them healthy and functional before moving teeth.
Hey help me i don't know if it's tmj or what but it's happening with me like that click sound and i can't open my mouth fully in day it's less but after i take a nap it hurts so bad 😭what to do?

I suffer from chronic throat pain (sometimtes feels like something is stuck in my throat, high up in my neck), which i believe is associated with my terrible clenching. I have read that the medial pterygoid muscle can be involved. can you explain this? I'm hoping my throat painwill magically disappear as I attempt to relax and stretch my neck and jaw muscles. please advise. thank you!!
Hi There! I wish I could explain the throat pain. It can be due to TMJD or it could be something else. I'd recommend getting your thyroid checked as well. Sorry - I wish I had a better explanation but this is not a symptom I see often.
Could also be reflux, I had that when pregnant from reflux - globus sensation hope you’re better now

Yes!
Hi Dr. Mistry, do you know of any TMJ docs in Sonoma CA? Been having issues and I'm having problems finding someone locally with information.
I don’t, I’m sorry!
If you don't mind me asking you can one chew on a gum if they have a severe TMJD problem
No!!!! I should have put that in the video! Gum chewing is not good for those with TMJD.
THE SECOND ONE REALLY DO IT !!!!
Good! I’m so glad!
2 months of unbearable pain. I do these and i get some relief. Am I super to feel something like bubbles popping when I apply pressure to the muscle?
there can be knots in the muscles or constrictions in the fascia that cause that "bubbles popping" sensation.
Does ice help doc
It can!
I have been suffering w ear-ache bc of TMJ, can this excises help also my pain ?
No likely not.
Hi Doc! Is there a link between TMJ and involuntary muscle twitching in the eye?
There could be, but muscle twitching can also be due to a potassium deficiency.
If pain one side so exercise is doing one side or both side?
It’s always best to do both sides :)
Does the calcium magnesium supplement you linked have the 2:1 ratio recommended?
Yes! I should have said that in the video! 🙈
Is it possible to have voice variation and feeling like one side of the vocal box is closed causing tiredness in speech associated with tmjd?
Does braces treatment help if the tmjd is associated with a missing tooth and related teeth misalignment as the root cause?
I don't recommend braces as treatment for TMJD even if one of the causes is misalignment of teeth. Once TMJD has started, it's best to treat the muscles and joints and get them healthy and functional before moving teeth.
Hey help me i don't know if it's tmj or what but it's happening with me like that click sound and i can't open my mouth fully in day it's less but after i take a nap it hurts so bad 😭what to do?
