r'4' Health Jaw joint pain/ Face pain/ and Toothaches... uZ J rAntigel Promo z Jaw joint pain or clicking con be a sign of imbalance in the muscles that control the jaw joint. Cranial Osteopathy has a good success rate when dealing with pain of this origin. However, overuse of the jaw joint from chewing pencils, chewing gum, gritting or grinding the teeth or having to talk a lot (an occupational hazard for teachers) can cause jaw pain and clicking which will not improve very much until the overuse has been remedied, where possible. In addition a bite guard from your dentist will stop you from grinding your teeth at night and give your jaws a rest. These really do work and are worth a try in all cases where jaw overuse is the problem. Face pain or toothache where your dentist can not f ind anything wrong with your teeth, gums or jaw bones may suggest a strain. This strain may exist in the joints between the neighbouring bones in the face, between the roots of the teeth, in the jaw bones or within the sinuses that lie inside the facial bones. These types of strains are extremely common and respond readily to Cranial Osteopathy. There are types of face pain that do not relate to teeth, joints or sinuses; these include Trigeminal Neuralgia, Post Herpetic Neuralgia (pain associated with shingles on the face) and infections in the skin. AIl these should be seen by your Family Physician f irst. These conditions may be appropriate for Cranial treatment depending on the details of the patients medical history.
