What treatments have you had to treat your
tmd----has it worked?
you can list it like this eg.
1.massage therapy--didnt work but sure
felt great
2. splint thereapy---worked for a while
and then stopped--dont know what
happened.
and so on. I think this will give us a
better idea of treatments that are out
there and how many actually work for us.

1. Splint Therapy - works good at night
because I grind my teeth alot
2. Infra red therapy - works excellent to
relieve inflammed muscles and joint
pain....BUT it's very expensive and you
have to do it once a week. So I had to
stop that, when I had it I could eat
normally.
3. Accupuncture - great for reliving
headaches
4. IMS - I just started this a couple
weeks ago, it's VERY painful but I'm
seeing some improvements (iSTOP.org for
more info)
5. Laser theraphy - Just started this a
couple weeks ago aswell and I haven't felt
any difference yet.
6. Ultrasound massage on my jaw joint -
didn't see a different, it actually seemed
to give me ear aches.
7. Elecrode theraphy for my neck and back
- I got great results for my neck and back
pain from doing this.
August 14th they are suppose to inject
steriods into my joint to try to stretch
it out - im trying to avoid this as much
as possible by doing IMS and laser
therapy.
Hope this helps
