TMJ Anyone have a solution !!!???

[hanselthecaretaker]

Chiropractics are borderline medical fraud. Sure, your back/neck/whatever might feel better after they pop it....only to have it pop out again after sitting down in your carseat on the way home. This is because your tendons/ligaments get stretched and weakened from all the popping they do so they won't be able to hold the form unless you basically don't move for a few days. So people keep going to them again and again and again. Basically it's up to the patient to say when they've had enough, but few have enough faith in their own better judgement.

you know what... the way i ever got into it was a friend was going to get an adjustment and i went with him. . so i had got one, felt good.. no joke- in a day or two i felt my body out of alignment. suddenly i knew what it felt like to be out of alignment. . . i thought oh man!!!! i shoulda never got any adjustment to begin with

Yes, I do. Don't chew gum. Try not really eating anything chewy for a few days (including my cack, lols) and see if it improves.

Basically my experience is it will flare up every now and then but then go away for a year or so at a time.

Never heard of a chiro popping a jaw, that's nuts.

Hansel - disagree with you there. My chiro has fixed me up numerous times from sports related lower back/hip injuries. I go in for 3-5 sessions, get all fixed up...and don't return for a year or two until I get shook up again and it pops back out...the key is to do strength exercises (chiro recommends). If I keep up on it, I don't re-injure myself. When I get lazy, lo and behold it pops back out.... 'course there are some lame scammer chiros out there that don't have your best interests in mind. Get a referral from someone you trust.

yeah honestly a chiro was the only way I was able to walk when pregnant and had pubic symphasis dysfunction



Uhm, I may be totally wrong about this but I think I remember something about cartillage discs that can slip out of place in the jaw that and orthopedic surgeon can manipulate back into place


but yeah, no chewy stuff
