Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ syndrome, is an acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment.
Has anyone had Acupuncture done to alleviate their TMJ pain? If so, did it help, make it worse, or neither? I'm considering Acupuncture and wanted to find out prior to spending the money. Thanks.

Yes, I've been doing acupuncture for a month. I has helped a lot. I'm able to work again. I still have to go weekly, I can feel after about 5 days that I need another treatment. It is the best thing I've done that has helped. When you do acupuncture wear your bite guard if you have one. If you don't have one I would suggest you get a dentist trained in TMJ to make one for you. Good Luck.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
