Applied to Chin and jaw
Many people get less pain and tension in the jaw after a few treatments, especially with exercises at home.
What the treatment is and how it's performed
Many people who grind or clench their teeth get pain in the jaw, the jaw joint, the head or the neck. The treatment releases tension in the chewing muscles with massage, trigger point treatment and stretching, sometimes also from inside the mouth. You learn exercises for the jaw and get advice on habits, posture, stress and sleep. Muscle-relaxing injections in the chewing muscle are a separate treatment with a doctor.
The treatment takes about an hour.
Pain level, downtime and healing
Pressure on tight chewing muscles can feel uncomfortable. The practitioner adapts the pressure.
No downtime. The jaw can be tender for a day.
Who it's for and safety information
Pain in the jaw together with chest pain, shortness of breath or a cold sweat can be signs of a heart attack. Call 113. Contact a doctor or dentist if you get swelling, a fever or cannot open your mouth.
The effect lasts longest with exercises and good habits after the treatment.
