TMJ: Jaw Information

T.M.J. Jaw pain, Clicky jaw,Grinding teeth, Graham Wilkinson became aware of the connection of the jaw joint,fatigue, IRB and allergies 12 years ago when his son Sam 18-was suffering allergies,and fatigue. As a baby Sam was sensitive to certain foods and IRB was always a problem. On doing  the Jaw moves we noticed a dramatic change.

As a snowboard coach with an up and coming champion he travels the world,once he could never eat food because of his allergies,now he eats out a lot,and can manage well.This gave me an awareness of how the rest of the body is affecting the Jaw for a is digestive system  The temporomandibular jaw joint is also known as the jaw joint or TMJ.  The TMJ is the hinge at the side of the face that connects the jaw, or mandible, to the temporal bone of the skull.  It is located just in front of the ear and is the joint from which all jaw movements take place. 

Approximately 40% of t  nerves leave the cranium through the TMJ.  If these nerves are suppressed or restricted in any manner through the TMJ being out of alignment, this can cause serious and far reaching health problems.

Since the TMJ problem is a cumulative disorder, you might notice such early signs as feature imbalance, pain radiating up the side of the head from in front of the ear, muscle cramps and pain in the shoulders and neck; earache and toothache despite the absence of infection.  You might notice symptoms of pain arising in the arms, lower back and legs.

The function of the the TMJ is the primary intersection for the circulation of blood to and from the brain.  Most headaches are a result of a disturbance in blood supply to the brain, and oral stress causes the neck to tighten, restricting circulation.  This area is also a crucial pathway for the transmission of neural impulses.  To have this centre and the major muscle groups that operate the mouth and lower jaw in a constant state of stress leads not only to physical tension but to abnormal changes in hormonal and chemical balance as well.

It is also known that four bio-electromagnetic circuits pass through the TMJ area.  These are: Small Intestine Circuit, Gall Bladder Circuit, Stomach Circuit and Endocrine Circuits.  An abnormal TMJ affects all structures on these circuits resulting in clinical symptoms.

Healthwise Energy Centre has been conducting its own study from observations of people presenting with TMJ problems.  Read the study so far.    See another TMJ report here or on the articles page.
