TMJ Pain Thoughts Inside Greg’s Head During Shockwave Therapy Treatment #tmj

Those HEADACHES and that TINNITUS may be ADHESION in the JAW!

Do you get a whooshing noise in your ear? I do. 🦻I also get an accompanying headache.

I’m Greg, the social media guy at Barefoot. About a year or so ago I started getting a really bizarre tingle in my left ear, and kind of a low wind noise when it would tingle.🌬

I went to my GP because I thought it was an ear infection, but nope, ears were clean. Eventually, the tingle started to feel like a bug was trying to crawl out of my ears. Gnarly, right?🪲

I was talking to Handsome Dr. Joe about this and he thought maybe it was a jaw issue. He’d been studying techniques from removing adhesion from the jaw to help people suffering from TMJ Pain.

This involved jamming a finger👆 in my mouth against the gum where the joint is that connects your jaw to your skull and pulling down the mandible. This would shred the adhesion in the masseter muscles (these enable the jaw to move) and get the jaw to have its full range of motion and relieve the pain symptoms.

So every few weeks, Joe would jam his finger in my mouth and torture me for about 7 minutes with multiple treatment passes. It sucked, was stupid painful, but my jaw felt a lot better for weeks after.

But now we have the ACOUSTIC WAVE machine that blasts out the adhesion and is FAR more comfortable, there are even spots it hits that feel AMAZING and I can literally feel my jaw dropping open. Much better than the finger jamming bit.💡

Now my pain is decreased, especially if I get treated regularly, the weird bug crawling feeling is gone, and the whooshing in my ears in barely there, if at all.

I pray to god I find pain relief like this.

You have to practice daily jaw exercises to prevent this all the time, muscles are so tight and causes tightness and head pressure. Seems like your jaw muscles are pulling one way while your jaw wants to go down. I usually use my palm and go down my face to relieve tight tension. I pray you feel better in the future.

Aw, man. I'm happy you found treatment. Did it work in a lasting way, or do you have to keep going to maintain the release?

I just wrote to you guys, I'm having a major jaw issue because of the great chiro skills that I was subjected to. I hope I will get to see you to get that fixed!

[kenaultman]

Brother, I know your pain. Mine is so bad I need surgery. I was a boxer for years and destroyed my jaw. I've had the oral surgeon grabbing that same muscle trying to release the spasm. I'd put it at a 8-9 out of 10 for pain.

If Greg is bald(ing), and doesn’t simply shave his head, have you tried using shockwave on his scalp?

[natalies]

I have such horrible cranial, hearing loss and tmj pain.
How do you find a Dr that has this equipment?

[martynasmasliukas]

What is actually happening during the process? And what sort of adhesion needs to be removed? would love to understand more. Thanks!

[simo-dvxk]

Is this similar to a focussed shockwave therapy?

[bigtimeLL]

You would think the waves and the sound would be bad on your ear drums

[allann]

The small muscle in front of my ear makes a crunchy sound, when I pull on my ear lobe. Will dry needling treat this issue?

[milkexz]

Can you tell me what to ask for In my state? I'm in oregon
