Temporomandibular Joint And Its Homeopathic Treatment

2. About Us Following the pioneering efforts of the late Dr. Shantibhai's Holistic and Homoeopathic practise in the towns of Nadiad and Petlad, Gujarat, India, Dr. Mahavrat S. Patel established Cosmic Homeo Healing Centre in Baroda city, State Gujarat, India in a very well equipped, State of The Art set up with a serene, cohesive, and conducive ambiance. For the past four decades, he has been practising homoeopathy in conjunction with holistic healing.

3. How homeopathy helps? The homoeopathic medical system offers an integrated approach to illness conditions, with the primary pathology as well as the patient's overall well-being as the emphasis of treatment. Homoeopathic micromedicines that have been ultra-diluted and potentized function as nanomedicines with quantum-like features, enhanced catalytic activity, and adsorptive ability. These drugs function exactly like an enzyme key system, producing the intended harmless impact exclusively on the targeted organs. As a result, the Homoeopathic treatment is considered a safer, more effective, and non-toxic cure for

4. Temporomandibular Joint & it’s Homeopathic Treatment What is the TemporomandibularJoint (TMJ)? The two joints that link your lower jaw to your skull are known as the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). They are the joints that slide and rotate in front of each ear and are made up of the mandible (lower jaw) and the temporal bone (side and base of the skull). Because the TMJ is related to the mandible, the right and left joints must work together and are thus not independent of one another. The mandible may move up and down, side to side, and forward and back thanks to these joints and many muscles.

5. Smooth muscle activities such as eating, talking, yawning, and swallowing can take place when the mandible and the joints are appropriately positioned. Several difficulties can emerge when these structures (muscles, ligaments, disc, jaw bone, temporal bone) are not aligned or synchronized in movement. Smiling, laughing, talking, chewing — these all are facial movements you make daily with little to no thought. But, if you have temporomandibular joint dysfuntion (TMJ), those simple movements may cause you a lot of pain. TMD stands for temporomandibular joint disorder. This refers to any dysfunction of the TMJ. Many people use the terms TMJ and TMD interchangeably.

6. WHAT IS TMJ OR TMD ? TMDs are a set of more than 30 ailments that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that regulate jaw movement. The term "TMDs" refers to the disorders, whereas "TMJ" simply refers to the temporomandibularjoint. Each person has two TMJs, one on each side of the jaw. Place your fingers in front of your ears and open your mouth to feel them. There are three main classes of TMDs: • Disorders of the joints, including disc disorders. • Disorders of the muscles used for chewing (masticatory muscles). • Headaches associated with a TMD.

7. What are the causes? TMD's aetiology is poorly known, although it is thought to be multifaceted; proper therapy of the disorder necessitates identification of predisposing and contributing variables. Myofascial and Intraarticular TMDs differ in their etiological factors Intraarticular TMD Myofascial TMD A myofascial condition, as the name implies, affects the muscles involved in mastication, causing them to become tense, weary, and uncomfortable. Stress, parafunctionalbehaviours like bruxism and improper posture, psychological problems like sadness and anxiety, and autoimmune diseases are all linked to muscle dysfunction. Intraarticular diseases are caused by inflammatory or mechanical factors that affect the joint itself, the most frequent of which is articular disc displacement. Trauma, capsular inflammation, osteoarthritis, hypermobility, and inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis are other intraarticular causes. It is unknown whether malocclusion contributes to TMD.

8. What are types of Temporomandibular joint Disorders? TMJ dysfunction develops when the muscles and ligaments surrounding your jaw joints become inflamed or irritated. The illness can be acute or chronic, and the pain can be modest or severe. • Myofascialpain • Acute muscle strain • Muscle spasm • Fibromyalgia • Chronic pain conditions • Myotonic dystrophy

9. What are the symptoms? The following symptoms are associated with TMD – • Pain (the most common emerging symptom ) usually in the preauricular area and / or the masticatory muscles • Limited range of mandibular movement • Presence of TMJ sounds, such as popping, clicking, grating or crepitus • Earache, headache, jaw ache and facial pain • Non-painful hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles • Abnormal occlusal wear which is associated with oral parafunction (this may be related to tooth grinding and jaw clenching) • It has also been found that 87 percent of patients have otological symptoms (i.e. symptoms related to the ear)

10. How to practice TMJ Pain Relief ? Maintain the resting position of your jaw: Reduce wide jaw motions such as chewing, yawning, singing, and yelling to help relieve TMJ symptoms. Make every effort to keep your muscles as relaxed as possible. Correct your posture: Sitting in an uncomfortable position for an extended amount of time might aggravate jaw pain. Choose a chair with back support when working and take frequent rests to enhance your posture. Get a good night’s sleep: Sleep is important for many aspects of good health. To help minimize TMJ pain, sleep on your back and use pillows to support your neck.  Reduce stress: Try meditation techniques to help loosen and relax your jaw. Yoga practices can also help put less stress on your muscles, and gardening is a great activity to try to calm your mind and relax your face. Exercise your jaw: Jaw exercises can help increase mobility in your joints
