At Home Treatment Options For TMJ

Applying gentle heat to the affected jaw area helps relax muscles, alleviate tension, and promote increased blood flow. Incorporate this simple yet effective at-home remedy to experience relief from TMJ symptoms.

Combat TMJ inflammation by integrating anti-inflammatory practices into your routine. Whether it’s over-the-counter medications or natural remedies like turmeric, reducing inflammation plays a key role in managing TMJ discomfort. Consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best approach for your unique needs.

Ease the strain on your jaw joints with a soft diet tailored for TMJ relief. Opt for easily chewable foods that require less jaw movement, such as yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies. Embracing a soft diet temporarily can contribute to decreased TMJ stress and promote healing. If you are struggling with limited jaw movement or soreness, eating chewy like bagels for example can aggravate the temporomandibular joints.

Incorporate gentle stretching and massage into your daily routine to address TMJ tension. Perform controlled jaw exercises to enhance flexibility and consider massaging the jaw and neck muscles to alleviate tightness. These at-home techniques can contribute to a more relaxed and comfortable jaw. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment regimen.
