Jaw pain is a common problem that everyone will experience in life.
However, once dentist has cleared the Jaw infection, tooth problems,
who should we consult for the jaw pain?

Picture
Physiotherapy!!!
Benphysio can treat jaw pain

well.

The key to treat Jaw Pain / Jaw Locked,
is the mastoid process behind the jaw.


Mastoid process serves as bony attachments of few neck muscles,
Sternocleido Mastoid SCM
Splenius Capitis
Longissimus Capitis

Picture
Via our unique assessment,
we are here to help to figure out
which are the muscles that strike your mastoid process

and causes jaw lock / jaw pain,
also, how severe your jaw joint property.
(Don't forget that Jaw is a joint with capsule & held by ligaments)

Picture
Bottom, we gonna teach you the
3 causes
of jaw pain / jaw lock.

Check with your physiotherapists.
Get it done!!!

Picture
cause 1:

Sternocleidomastoid SCM
muscle that becomes prominent if you push your head forward,
therefore, anyone with poking chin posture will have high prevalence

Picture
when our head is forwarded (computer, handphone),
we are putting the SCM in stiffness position;
Stiff SCM muscles will leads to high pressure onto mastoid process,
consequently impacted the Jaw biomechanical function.


Picture
Cause 2:

Rounded shoulder can lead to Jaw Pain as well,
when
shoulder blades are misaligned,
Levator scapulae muscle becomes stiffen.

Picture
All these rounded shoulder,
are due to stiffness of deep chest muscles -

pectoralis minor
and Short Head Biceps (SHB)

similar symptoms,
you may suffer
morning neck stiffness when wake up,
due to stiff / spasm
Levator Scapule muscle

Levator scapule attached to C1 C2 C3 C4,
stiffness of this muscle leads to pressure at the attachment C1-C4,
subsequently impaired the Jaw's mechanical function.


Picture
cause 3:

Another muscle that attached to mastoid process,
is Splenius Capitis
and Longissimus Capitis

Both are extension of Trunk muscles (Erector Spinae),
originate from Sacrum bone,
to Mastoid Process of skull.

Picture
Erector Spinae is the
Muscle that attached from sacrum, low lumbar,
to thoracic & skull bone


When someone has poor posture with
Kyphotic Upper Back (hunch)
& Lordosis Lower Back

The Erector Spinae will stiffen as it is working against Gravity,


Subsequently, it will leads to tension at attachment at mastoid process,
eventually will leads to Jaw Biomechanical Dysfunction,

Picture
Therefore, one of the treatment for Jaw Pain,
Should involve the myorelease of Erector Spinae muscle,
from Scarum bone,
all the way until the mastoid process of skull.

Picture
Last, but not least,

Treatment needs to include the 2 important muscles that controlt the Jaw movements,
Masseter muscle
Temporalis muscle

At the end of treatment session,
Joint mobilisation will be implemented to
increase the Jaw joint space
as well as to align the Jaw socket.

Wry Neck / Acute neck pain

Picture
Symptoms:
  • Wake up in morning with SHARP pain, as shown in picture on left
  • Unable to turn the neck, especially during driving

Myth: 
It is not due to the ‘wet pillow’ or ‘wet hair’. It's a problem with your shoulder and neck.
Even in pain, slowly turn towards pain site as an exercise.


Physio Explanation:
When it happens for first time, it can resolve within couple of hours. When it gets severe (recurrent), it takes days to recover.
Do not force to turn to pain site, it will cause more pain then relief.


BENPHYSIO says:
Ice it, while calling us for an appointment.

To your surprise, acute neck pain often attack the non-dominant upper limbs.

Pain doesn't mean its aging. Very often, it's just biomechanical fault throughout the years of usage.​
