Jaw Pain
Jaw Pain can be a result of several health conditions, from a minor toothache injury to a heart attack, and the discomfort can range from minor to severe. Though the reasons causing Jaw Pain may vary, the most common reason for this pain is TMJ, Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction.
TMJ can be caused due to an injury in the jaw joint, damage to muscles controlling jaw movement, or excess joint stimulation.
What is the cure?
So if you are suffering from persistent jaw pain, getting it diagnosed should be the first course of action, as you may be suffering from TMJ Dysfunction. Proper diagnosis will help us know the root cause of the problem and the appropriate treatment.
You need not worry about the surgery as TMJ disorder treatment can be done through physiotherapy.
Other underlying causes for jaw pain include dental problems, cluster headaches, sinus problems, and heart-related problems.
If your jaw pain is not chronic and the discomfort is minute, you may not need to consult a doctor (though that is not what we advise), and you can apply a few home remedies to get immediate relief, such as :
1. Applying ice or heat packs to the affected area will help loosen the overactive muscles.
2. Messaging your jaw joint gently using your fingers as it releases the tension in the sore area.
As common as it may sound, Jaw pain should not be taken lightly. Consult a doctor immediately if you haven't already.
