TMJ & JAW PAIN

What is this episode about? This is a really short podcast episode, but it's important for me to point out one exercise that can do a lot of damage. There is a cork exercise on the internet that is being touted as the solution to all jaw pain. This practice is very good in itself, but it can also have fatal consequences.

Are you experiencing jaw pain or discomfort? Do you hear clicking sounds when chewing or speaking? You might be a victim of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), but don't worry, it's not as complicated as you may think. There are plenty of myths and misconceptions surrounding TMD that often lead to confusion and misinformation. In this podcast episode, we'll debunk common myths about TMD to help you understand the condition better and seek appropriate treatment for relief. 

I am repeatedly confronted with beliefs during my consultation hours, and I can also find quite a lot of beliefs on the internet about temporomandibular joint disorders and tinnitus. That's why I thought I'd do a series on truths, half-truths and ferry tails about CMD; also called craniomandibular dysfunction, temporomandibular joint and tinnitus.
