 Did you know that there's an acupuncture point for TMJ? TMJ stands for temporal mandibular joint which is the hinge connecting jaw to skull. TMJ dysfunction can develop from arthritis, injury, and teeth grinding and can lead to pain, clicking, jaw locking, and problems of chewing. A great way to relax the muscles involved with TMJ dysfunction and decreased pain is to apply acupressure massage to the point stomach 7. To find stomach 7, drop under the stigmatic arch, slide back just before you reach the condyloid process of the mandible. The point is in the diva that disappears when the jaw is open.
