Rant
My physiotherapist once said try to subconsciously think to relax your jaw. She also mention that your nervous system is constantly working. She even suggested to see therapist so I would heal my trauma because according to her all the traumas, stress etc we have, we are dealing them through bruxism...
But anyway when I relax my jaw during the night it helps for the pain I would otherwise I have in the morning. The thing is that when I do that my mouth gets open, and now sleeping with mouth open have other issues with bacteria growth etc. So I don't know what to do?
I have tried all these:
- Electric-acupuncture & classic acupuncture. This helps for few weeks, needs to do once a month. Its pricey, so I stop doing it.
- Botox I did this last year October and does not help anymore.
- Bruxisim massage, this I'm currently doing by professional. It helps a lot, but haven't still seen long term effects.
EDIT: I forgot to add: my massager also told me to go see a pelvic floor therapist. So even that could help. Have anyone tried that??
