Let’s Talk About TMD 🦷💬

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) isn’t just jaw pain. It’s a complex condition that can affect your entire body—and your life.

Common symptoms of TMD include:
• Jaw pain or tightness
• Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
• Headaches and migraines
• Facial pain or tension
• Earaches or a feeling of fullness in the ears
• Neck and shoulder discomfort
• Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully

Because TMD is so multifaceted, the root causes often go beyond just the jaw.

📝 That’s why at your initial appointment, I take the time to go through a thorough questionnaire—including your:
• Dental history (past treatments, clenching/grinding, orthodontics)
• Medical history (injuries, chronic conditions, medications)
• Occupation (desk work? heavy lifting? talking all day?)
• Stress levels and emotional trauma (yes, they absolutely play a role)
• Habits (posture, sleep position, chewing gum, nail biting, etc.)

Every detail gives us insight into how your body is functioning—and what might be contributing to your symptoms. TMD isn’t just a jaw problem. It’s a whole-body story, and your healing starts with understanding the full picture.

🦷✨ If you’ve been living with unexplained facial pain, jaw discomfort, or headaches, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep guessing.

My Dentist Said I Have TMJ… But Why Does It Hurt So Much?”

A client recently reached out, confused and frustrated after being told she has TMJ dysfunction. She’d had a root canal, but the pain wasn’t going away. In fact, it was getting worse — with symptoms like:

🔹 Jaw and head tension
🔹 Throbbing headaches
🔹 Blurry vision
🔹 Facial pressure
🔹 Pain when pressing on the jaw muscles

Her X-rays and scans looked perfect. Her sinuses were clear. So why was she still in pain?

✨ Because TMJ dysfunction isn’t just about the joint. It’s about the whole body. ✨

At Essex TMJ Holistic Solutions, we take a whole-body, fascia-informed approach to TMJ care. The jaw is deeply connected to the muscles and fascia of the head, neck, shoulders — even down to the pelvis.

When dental work or stress disrupts that system, fascia can become restricted, pulling on muscles and compressing nerves. That’s when symptoms like hers show up — seemingly unrelated, but all connected.

👐 How we help:
✔️ Intraoral and extraoral massage for deep TMJ muscle release
✔️ Myofascial release to restore mobility across the body
✔️ Nervous system calming techniques to reduce chronic tension
✔️ Individualized care that listens to YOUR body, not just your X-rays

If you’ve been told “everything looks fine” — but you know your body says otherwise — you’re not alone. And you’re not imagining it. TMJ dysfunction is complex, but there is a path to relief.

📍 Based in Essex and ready to support you with targeted, compassionate care.

👉 PM or WhatsApp to book your session to start feeling like you again.

Home care advice for TMD sufferers 🥰

My turn to be pampered, tried out a Hammam experience and a massage while away in Tunisia. I should sleep well tonight, forgotten what it felt like to float out of a treatment room. I will be back to work feeling refreshed and relaxed ready to treat all you beautiful souls 🩵

Your posture is determined by your eyes. This occurs with the help of small muscles on the bottom of your skull, the subocciptals. Named for their position below the occipital bone, these muscles are also sensory organs due to the concentration of spindle cells within them.

This is why as part of your treatment I concentrate on releasing tight fascia in the neck and attachments to the occipital bone .
