TMJ and Chronic Pain, Plus Natural Pain Relief By Bill Wolfe, DDS SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE IN ALBUQUERQUE! Approximately 40 percent of all healthy individuals suffer from chronic headaches, and one out of eight people suffer from headaches so severe that they cannot function normally. Often, these problems are related to a common cause of chronic pain: TMJ syndrome. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. This is the joint in the jaw that allows the jaw to open, close. move backward and forward, and from side to side. The term “TMJ Syndrome” refers to a malpositioning of the respective jaw structures and associated muscles. This condition results in muscle contractions, which are a factor in approximately 80 percent of all tension-related headaches. Some 75 million Americans are affected, but only about five percent are actually diagnosed correctly and treated. If you have any combination of the following complaints, you may be suffering from TMJ syndrome and related headaches: • Dizziness and/or lightheadedness • Ringing, buzzing, or clogged ears Energetic Health Care & Dentistry Enhancing Health Through Technology • Spasm and/or tightening in the back of the neck, shoulders, or face • Clicking or popping noises’ when opening or closing the jaw • Inability to open the mouth fully • Locking of the jaw joint • Pain behind the eyes • Earaches and sinus pain • Loss of upper body strength with teeth closed. While this patient did not specifically suffer from TMJrelated headaches, her TMJ journey is compelling and may be of assistance to you: Dr. Wolfe: Before I came to see you, I had suff ered for 27 years. Various diagnoses (Meniere’s syndrome, neurological problems, “something akin to a form of epilepsy”, extreme vertigo and sleep apnea) were off ered, but no help. I was unable to walk across open spaces; had problems with driving; extreme sensitivity to light; a nervous system in a constant state of high alert; diffi culty with my neck; clinching and grinding of my teeth so that my back teeth ground down very badly. My social life was severely hampered. Although I saw numerous dentists over the years, and more than one of them mentioned that I may have a TMJ problem, no dentist addressed it. When I came to you, you knew quickly that my problems were related to TMJ. Finally I had a correct diagnosis! From the first day of treatment, I felt an easing in my jaw. Within a short time, I was walking unassisted and less reactive to light. Now I am enjoying an amazingly healthy life, without any of the prior restrictions or symptoms. I have been truly Resurrected! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Wolfe for giving me my life back! – Judy Barrett, Santa Fe TMJ Syndrome, although not a threat to longevity, can cause a lifetime of suffering.

Healing with Moxibustion By Linda Sullivan, DOM This powerful treatment stimulates circulation and a smoother flow of blood through the acupuncture points and throughout the body. It also produces a calming, analgesic (pain relieving) effect. When the skin is warmed by the moxibustion process, an anti-inflammatory response is initiated and the healing response is triggered. It’s an amazing therapeutic tool that’s been used with acupuncture for centuries. Moxibustion can be applied in dif- ferent ways; directly or indirectly. Direct moxibustion therapy involves the process of burning the dried herb artemesia vulgaris over certain parts of the body or acupuncture needles. This produces heat, Traditional Moxibustion which can penetrate deeply into the muscles Set from Ibuki (Japan) and acupuncture meridians. The fragrance of the herb travels through the meridians regulating Qi (life force) and blood, and expelling cold from the meridians. The process can beautifully resolve the symptoms of the common cold, abdominal discomfort (and other types of pain), diarrhea and muscle spasms. It also works well when used for urinary problems, phlegm in the lungs, poor digestion, nodules in the skin and arthritis. In conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion therapy can also be very effective for many diseases and conditions including back pain, muscle stiffness, headaches, migraines, tendonitis, arthritis, digestive disorders, anxiety, and female health problems such as menstrual cramps, irregular periods, and infertility. In the hands of a skilled doctor of Oriental Medicine who understands where and how to apply it, moxibustion can be used safely and effectively with great results.
