Yes, there are a few natural remedies that may help alleviate the pain you’re experiencing due to TMJ. Certain lifestyle changes can be a temporary solution for halting symptoms. Remember, these aren’t permanent solutions and shouldn’t be considered a long-term option. A few natural remedies to try can include:
Massage therapy
Jaw stretching
Acupuncture
Eating soft foods
Learning stress management
Utilizing heat or cold therapy
If you find that any of these natural remedies aren’t working for you, call our Ottawa office at (613) 454-1854 and we’ll set up a consultation for you with Dr. Dahan. During this consultation, we’ll take time to discuss your symptoms, helping in determining the best TMJ treatment option for you. Dr. Dahan may recommend a customized oral appliance to help improve the alignment of your jaw while you sleep and prevent any further damage from TMJ.
