Locked Jaw Relief | TMJ #7 | TMJ Pain Relief

According to 2015 research, up to 80 percent of people with RA have TMD, which is a cause of tightness in the jaw.

RA may damage the jaw joint and surrounding tissues. It can also cause bone loss in the jaw.

If your locked jaw is due to Osteoarthritis (OA), there may be deterioration and loss of function of the jaw bone, cartilage, and tissue. This can result in a tight, painful jaw. Try extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for this as well as my TMJ videos.

If you have a fever and fear a Tetanus infection, please see a doctor immediately to get help with the infection. Other symptoms may include stiffness in your abdomen, difficulty swallowing and painful muscle contractions in your jaw and neck.

Muscle tension (often from clenching teeth) can cause a pull on the jaw joints and facial pain. Using these TMJ relief pressure points and facial muscle exercises to reduce pain and discomfort in your jaw and TMJ symptoms like inflammation, spasms, swelling and pain.
By addressing the muscles/pressure points, we have a way to help restore the mechanics of the jaw joints and even the alignment of the cranial bones.

You may be experiencing some of the following symptoms:
-Muscle pain around the jaw TMD
-Clicking or popping sounds when you move your mouth or chew
-Difficulty opening your mouth due to tightness of the jaw
-Pain in the front part of your ear that can travel to your cheeks, ear, and temple
-Headaches or even migraines (make sure and check out Dr Fields migraine video)
-Buzzing or a sensation of fullness in your ear (see the ETD videos)
-Disturbed sleep, pain in the neck and back (see the Neck Pain Relief Series)

I used to struggle with a jaw problem that made it difficult for me to open my mouth wide enough to eat. Every day, I would wake up with a stiff neck, regardless of the position I slept in. However, after discovering and following your video exercises, my life has changed dramatically.

During the peak of the pandemic in 2020, seeing a chiropractor or any doctor was not an option. But your exercises came as a blessing. I’ve been pain-free since I started following your neck exercises. I haven’t needed to see a chiropractor or any other doctor since then.

I cannot express how grateful I am for your help. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise through these videos. They have truly made a difference in my life.

At the risk of sounding slightly dramatic, these videos have saved my life. Okay, they improved it a great deal. I appreciate what you've done here.

[stanislavgalov]

Thank you for doing such a great work - helping, showing and explaining those not so popular things of something more widely spread than anticipated by many!

[ruthpoersch]

aahhh so good!! I feel so much better every-time after doing your TMJ videos, and is not only for the exercises but also the way you uplift us. What an incredible amount release! I am eternally grateful for you 💙

Thank you so much. I have unknown facial pain for 2years.... do so many dental CT and root canal treatment, Sinusitis treatment and many pills for nerve almost want to give up then YouTube showing your clips to me. Trying few TMJ videos made me more peaceful and relaxed. Thank you for giving me some hope!🙏

[adamolds]

[amarilisdominguez]

Dr. Field thank you so much for your amazing work and videos.

[nqvnnjo]

Dr. Fields, I want to express my gratitude to you. Three weeks ago I could hardly eat anything, I had to gentle open my mouth and put little pieces of food into it. Now after three weeks of watching your videos and practicing them, I am so much better. Thank you kindly

[lujo]

Thank you so so much!! Im having wisdom teeth removal surgery on thursday and have been barely able to open my mouth due to jaw pain the last few days afraid i'd have to miss the surgery and this already helped so much!! Best wishes from Germany.

[sairaazz]

I'm so thank ful, I found your videos, just 2 days ago I was taking painkillers for my tmj every 3-4hours now after following your exercises its 7_9 hours, it's such a relief.

[anitius]

I jusy found you. You are a godsend. This Tmj pain is terrible and no other doctor I've been to ever showed me anything like this. I can't thank you enough 🙏

[howardcao]

Thank you very much for creating these high-quality TMJ videos. Splendid work👍👍! Last year, I practiced TMJ #1-5 daily which fixed my right jaw pain. At the beginning of this year, my left jaw had some closing problem. I am now feeling fine after practicing TMJ #1 to #7 once a day for one month.

[kimberlyruttenberg]

Dr. Fields,
You are truly a blessing in this life and I appreciate you and your journey.

I am so surprised, at 68 years old, I am just now learning about muscles in the head and neck. For so long, stretching and exercising the head and neck muscles have NOT been part of ANY workout routine.

Before CoVid, I developed a chronic headache at the left temple of my head and had it for almost four years. After doctors appointments, physical therapy and medication, nothing seemed to work.

I stumbled across Adam Fields DC and it was a game changer. I no longer have the headache. I don't know how long I have had TMJ (forever sounds about right). Stress in my neck had been a constant thing.

Following the Pain Relief exercised on YouTube by Adam Fields has been a wonderful relief. I do at least three of his exercises a day.

Thank you so much! I am VERY gratetful!

[carolfox]

I am feeling so much better Doctor, thank you for these video’s‼️ Thank you for sharing and caring🥰

[margaretmcelrath]

Deep gratitude for your work, for sharing and for doing these exercises with us. Awesome!!! I had a ear that was painful. Finally diagnosed as TMJ and told to get physical therapy. No one here does it and I found you❤. You are better than anyone. Big hugs⭕️⭕️❌❌

[luthfiavionita]
