TMJ Syndrome and Wisdom teeth?!
Question: TMJ Syndrome and Wisdom teeth.?
So i've been reading about TMJ syndrome, and i seem to have all the symtoms.. such as neck pain, i can't open my mouth all the way, and my lower jaw is in pain.. But, i haven't gotten my wisdom teeth removed yet.. Could this be a reason why my mouth doesn't open all the way.? And why i've been experiencing neck pain.? I'm actually kinda scared, i don't know for sure if this is what it is, and does TMJ go away, or is it permanent.? So anything you know would help me a lot.. Thanks..Health Question & Answer

I had a clicky TMJ for years and pain.. I went to a Bowen therapist - really good result, really fast relief.. That was a few years ago and now it's back so I guess I need to have another session..
The wisdom teeth will not be why you can't fully open your mouth.. More the joint I reckon..
I wouldn't expect a TMJ problem to correct itself..
I'm not a Bowen therapist but I understand that they cleverly adjust the muscles where they insert and originate from the bone near a joint.. It feels very nice when getting a treatment - like a massage.. No need to be scared..Health Question & Answer

Hi.. If you suspect TMJ, do see a TMJ specialist or dentist.. They will make you wear a mouth guard at night, and suggest ways to deal with your TMJ-related pain (applying heat, eating soft food etc)..
