Our jaw is a hinge joint ; opens and closes with a focal point. When a person is in a stressful situation or is generally anxious due to any reason , they tend to unconsciously clench their jaws throughout the day or in that particular situation or in their sleep.
This happens because our body tightens up without us realizing it.
We clench or grind our teeth at night/during sleep , our neck or shoulder muscles become tight , our posture becomes poor (forward head , rounded shoulders).
Now , the jaw and neck muscles and nerves work closely together and because of the constant clenched pressure at the jaw , the muscles go into spasm and compress on the nerves , and the pain can travel to the ear , head , neck and shoulders. The pain could be felt like a radiating and tingling pain accompanied with stiffness and heaviness.
What the team at PhysioNautics does :
1. Relax and stretch the tight muscles
2. Improve the movement of the jaw with correct exercises and strengthening activities
3. Correct the posture and re-educate the patient regarding the proper ergonomic activities while working , sleeping and exercising
4. Reduce the nerve type tingling pain with the help of advanced electric modalities and therapy
5. Teaching how to manage stress with relaxation exercises , deep breathing , meditation and counselling
The goal is not to simply treat the condition , but to treat the cause of the condition and also teach how to prevent the same from happening again in the future and PhysioNautics does exactly that , goes to the root cause and treats it rather than treating only the symptom.
