Is BOTOX right for me? - TMJ Technique of the Week #9

This week, I'll show you how to determine if BOTOX might help your TMJ symptoms, and give you a technique to purposefully do what BOTOX does for you. This technique requires time, persistence, and consistency to achieve results, but once you achieve a level of comfort in this deliberate way, you will be dependent on nothing but your own mind to feel great!

I just want to say thank you for all your help ; I'm almost cured just by watching your videos, feeling your kindness, doing your exercises, following your advice and buying your cork :) . 5 weeks ago I was suffering so much from my clicking jaw and now it is hardly bothering me and I am almost recovered ! I really admire your compassion, care and willingness to help others with your knowledge. I can't express my gratitude enough ! My clicking jaw was causing me huge anxiety and making eating anything very challenging and sometimes impossible and thanks to you, I am enjoying meal times and I have learned to relax. You have also stimulated my awareness of how my body works and I have gained a profound respect for it and increasing curiosity and not just in the flesh and bones part of me, but that "other" hard to define it may sound strange to some people, I truly believe that your voice helped heal me even at this distance (America to Australia) because your voice actually conveys the compassion and desire to help those who hurt and that intention, I now understand is a very powerful and far reaching thing (and it doesn't matter that science can't explain it ...although saying that ; quantum physics does touch on it !) Your intent is good and I truly believed you wanted to help me and that fact alone was healing in addition to the helpful exercises ....I hope there are people who can help you in the same way when and if you ever need it...thank you again (and again)

Hey doc I wonder if this will help facial asymmetry related to TMJ. Or if you could direct me to one of your videos that tackle that problem. Thanks doc! Looking forward for your response.

My masseters are tight but my muscle pain is more temporalis.

How does this technique work ? It seems super revolutionary…

Is it like psychological?

What’s the mechanism?

[cettinachiarelli]

What is the one side does not seem to contract or very minimal sporadic contracting? I don't feel it consistently even after repetition.

That technique sounds pretty pointless. How can that help anyone?

I have had Botox 3 times over past 6 years for problem. I had wrist surgery and they must have had tube pulling my left jaw and I have had deviation and so when I have clenched it has made left side muscles huge. All the doctors dentist (every kind) even tmj experts either want me to have mouth splint and yes I had upper one and kept getting blisters on side of jaw and he didn't' know why. But they all say you can open your mouth to wide to have tmj? So I do take Ambien at night and wear a mouth guard at night and do not bite it any longer as its been 2 years since I had new one. I found a wonderful dentist last year who was willing to work with me and do small amounts in those muscles and where ever I felt bulging muscles. He did like 10 to 15 units in bad ones and I was going back for next treatment and he informed me he was at new dental office? And they did not do Botox? So I have been on my own doing exercises. I am working on deviation and watching and doing various techniques, I do take anti anxiety medicine that has helped and keeps me from going nuts but going though your list of vids and gonna do them for 30 days to see if they make a difference. I can already feel a difference in my huge masseters?
