I felt great when I woke up this morning. Thanks so much doc!
I am so glad it helped.
Interesting video. What are your thoughts on deep needling of trigger points in acupuncture?
Sorry for the delay in rsponding back. There is nothing wrong with it, however, when we undestand how the brain controls the muscles, if the brain is not involved to release the tension, any treatment will be on temporary. The deep needling may affect the spindles of the muscle which will release the tension for up to few hours. Since the brain was not engaged in the process, once the muscles come back online, the brain will do exactly what it did before you had the needling.
My analysis is that grinding teeth happens when your dentist keep your mouth open over a long hour during the teeth cleaning , brain is having default harmony to keep your mouth close, but this constant pulse to close the mouth becomes disrupted and it induces grinding teeth , one should not keep the mouth open long hour forced
I agree. You are right, holding your mouth open for so long forces the brain to contract the muscles to close the mouth. This tension in your cheeks can lead to the grinding, headaches. and some soreness in the TMJ area. One of the things I like to do is use my thumb, start at my cheek bone and gently rub down towards my jaw as I breathe out. This will allow my face to relax and this muscle to relax. The muscle is named the Masseter. I repeat that 3 times on each side to help.Thanks for the comment.
When I gently touch the masseter on the left side and breathe out, I feel it in the right side of the jaw somehow. Both for opening and closing my mouth. Any idea how to ease into the discomfort?
I have seen this many times. The masseters, which are on both sides of your face connecting the jaw to the cheek bone, will affect the TMJ. If you grond your teeth, clench your jaws from stress, or frown a lot, these muscles will tighten. Many times onw side tighten more than the other. Thisc an be from chewing on one side more than the other or you may hold your jaw toghter on one side moere than the other. Since both masseters must work together, if one side is tighter, it is not unusual to feel pain on the opposite side as the jaw is out of alignment. Some clients have been to a chiropractor for adjustments, but if it si the muscles pulling the jaw out of alignment, the misalignment will happena again after a few hours. Massaging the masseters nightly will help maintain the proper balance and if you have your jaw adjusted, the adjustment will stay longer reducing the risk of further damage. Hope this helps. Let me know hwo it si working for you.
@@stretchnreleasetechnique3082wonderful, will do
Yes, reduce the pressure on the massage. You might pressing too hard.
@@TheMuscleRepairShopyeah I used a bit too much of the entire finger/thumb first instead of the pad. Maybe I shouldn’t press for now and just touch it gently. Should I try to relax the jaws when breathing out?
@@stijnP9071 Press just hard enough you can feel and still be able to breathe. Always relax the jaw and body to relax the muscles.
This grinding of teeth makes ne feel my teeth are heavy in my mouth.. I don't like closing my mouth when I want to sleep
I get it. The muscles around your mouth and jaw are fatigued. By doing the massage on your cheeks and the side of your head before bed may help.
sir I hv awake bruxism since 3 year. 24 hours i live with my headache...I can't do anything properly. my life hv stopped complety. sir will it cure complety from this exercise...plz tell me sir😢😢😭😭😭
I cannot promise it will stop completely. I can tell you if you do these exercises you could reduce the pain. By just relaxing the brain and massaging the muscles, the muscles will soften. This can reduce the pain. Try it and let me know your progress.
Sorry to hear. I cannot promise this will cure anything, I can tell you it may reduce the pain. Try it a try and let me know your progress.
When we clench we don't just clench our jaw ..in many cases we clench our hips and neck and hands ...try progressive muscle relaxation technique ..I have been trying that ...have this same issue last 20 or more years
sir plz show your massage therapy again in zoom video... because I can't understand properly...PLEASE ☺
Sorry, I will do a video in more detail to help you and other people who need more information.
