Last night there were tons of crazee storms here in Ohio and that always aggravates my TMJ. I was reading a book a bout Trigger Point Therapy I have bought, it says you can massage your muscles yourself. I of course am going to speak to my massage therapist about it. But, I was feeling around my neck and jaw muscles like the book said, and rubbed them a little. First off I was amazed that these muscles felt just the way the book said they would, refering pain to my jaw and head. Then when I went to sleep, I swear I felt a little less pain than usual. Have any of you had any experience with this form of therapy? I know my bite needs to be corrected by the TMJ dentist, but this seems helpful as well. I think with TMJ there is no one "quck-fix" (how un-American) and several disciplines are going to be involved.
