When we were kids and suffered jaw pain we were teased that it was the result of our talking too much. This was not the case then, and it is not the case now. Jaw pain, unless it is caused by a direct blow or injury to the face, can often have mysterious origins. The jaw can hurt for no seeming reason - often to the point that talking, chewing, even drinking water is painful and difficult. Many times pain in one part of our bodies is actually indicative of problems somewhere else - if you can discover and solve those problems the pain will go away.
Our entire skeletal structure is built around the amazing support of our spinal column. The spine serves as a super-highway for the nerves, providing space and cushioning for literally thousands of nerves that communicate the body's messages to itself. When things go wrong with the spine - misalignment, swelling, spasming, then the nerves can get pinched or pressured leading to `missed messages' and random pain signals. If you can correct the problems in the spine than many types of pain, including jaw pain will go away.
One of the amazing new treatments available for the spine is Spinal Decompression Therapy or DTS. For many years physicians and chiropractors have used traction to stretch the spine and musculature, but now with the advanced DTS equipment it is possible to create the natural 'compression and release' movement of the healthy spine in order to encourage the relaxation of pinched discs and nerves and to strengthen the muscles surrounding the spinal column. Most patients report an easing of jaw pain during the first session, and over time they testify to a complete eradication of chronic pain.
DTS therapy is available in Westchester County and is effective for all types of chronic nerve and muscle pain. It has been our experience that DTS therapy allows 70% of patients to resume normal life, and for those that it proves ineffective for, it does not preclude surgery at a later date. If you are suffering chronic jaw pain, don't you owe it to yourself to check out all of the therapy options available to you? Some treatments are designed simply for pain suppression or temporary pain relief - others are designed to stop the cause of the pain. Before you choose your treatment, be sure you understand the difference and can choose the procedure that is best for you.
