Arrowhead Clinic Explains How a Chiropractor May Help Reduce TMJ Pain
Jun 19, 2023
June 19, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Arrowhead Clinic, a chiropractic practice with offices in various locations in Georgia, has recently explained what a chiropractor can do to help reduce temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) pain. TMJ is a common occurrence that causes long-lasting jaw and facial pain but many people don’t know if chiropractic treatment can help decrease the pain. There are actually several advantages of applying chiropractic techniques for TMJ issues but there have been arguments against using them.
Dr. Harry Brown, founder of Arrowhead Clinic, says, “Chiropractic care is advantageous in alleviating muscular stress and enlarging flexibility, both of which contribute to the addressing of TMJ-related aches. It may also be a substitute for treatment alternatives typically relying on pain-reducing medicine and surgical procedures. However, some people believe that chiropractic manipulation practices, like physical manipulations, could possibly result in more injury to weak areas around the jaw. As with any medical treatment decisions, it is recommended for the patient to consult with their physician about potential advantages and drawbacks before starting a course of therapy. Conclusively, medical experts are uncertain if chiropractic care helps with TMJ conditions, however, many people have stated they have found comfort following this procedure. Ultimately, when deliberating this kind of treatment, it is essential to contemplate the benefits and drawbacks before taking any action.”
Those who agree with the use of chiropractic care for TMJ conditions suggest that manipulating and repositioning the vertebrae in the neck and back can reduce or eliminate the tension that could have a negative impact on nerve endings near the jaw. In addition, many studies have shown that physically adjusting the mandible may help in the treatment of various symptoms of TMJ. Chiropractors may also recommend dietary supplements or various physical activities as a total solution for people suffering from facial joint issues.
On the other hand, some specialists have doubts about the use of chiropractic intervention for TMJ-related problems. They argue that adjusting and rearranging joints can only offer short-term relief and doesn’t address the root cause of repeated TMJ episodes. Furthermore, they don’t recommend certain therapies or exercises that may not be helpful in treating patients with poor TMJ conditions.
Chiropractors often use repositionings and modifications for treating TMJ conditions. They will make delicate adjustments or rearrangements of the temporomandibular joints to minimize the stiffness and pain in the jaw. This kind of intervention is believed to be beneficial in the optimal alignment of the jaw, which eases the tension in the muscles and tendons in that area and promotes the proper operation of the joint. In addition, it can reduce symptoms caused by teeth clenching or grinding because of the misalignment of the joint. On the other hand, some believe such alterations and adjustments may be too extreme, possibly resulting into more injury and pain. Thus, before opting for chiropractic care to help with TMJ problems, it is important to take into account both the possible advantages and risks.
Dr. Harry Brown also wants to provide an overview of what a typical chiropractic treatment for TMJ is like. He says, “Following the primary examination, the chiropractor will explain the program of treatment with you and possibly start manipulating your temporomandibular joint or employing manual methods such as trigger point treatment, spinal adjustment, stretching, and soft tissue manipulation. Depending on the seriousness of your issue, multiple visits may be necessary to achieve optimum results from the treatment. While undergoing the process, you may feel some slight uneasiness. This is typical and should not last for an extensive period of time. Many individuals who receive therapy for their temporomandibular joint find that they experience considerable comfort virtually right after their treatment.”
Established in 1977, Arrowhead Clinic has a group of topnotch chiropractors and car accident doctors in 18 clinics in various places around the state of Georgia. They have already provided treatment to more than 400,000 accident victims during the previous 40 years and they have established a reputation of being chiropractic care leaders. They have in-house x-ray equipment to help them diagnose the injuries of patients during their initial consultation. In addition to car accident injuries, they can also provide treatment for various kinds of pain and injuries.

Is this the best time for US strategists to push for abandoning ambiguity on Taiwan?
For nearly five decades, the United States’ Taiwan policy has centred on strategic ambiguity by not declaring whether it would intervene militarily in a potential Taiwan conflict. This policy – designed to deter Beijing from using force while preventing Taipei from formally declaring independence – is being challenged by realist US strategists amid a broader debate over America’s role in the world, growing constraints on US military might and a shifting regional balance of power driven by...

US Army receives 1st Hanwha-made mobile howitzer system: report
The U.S. Army has received its first South Korean-made mobile howitzer system as part of efforts to replace its aging artillery systems, a U.S. defense news outlet reported Monday. The Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC), manufactured by Hanwha Defense USA, a U.S. subsidiary of South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace Co., was displayed at a U.S. Army event held in Washington earlier this month, Defense News reported, citing U.S. Army officials. "We're excited to have that and get ready to test it," Brig. Gen. Robert Mikesh Jr., the Army's portfolio management executive for offensive fires, was quoted as saying. "And get that soldier feedback, that we think is so important." In August, Hanwha Defense USA was selected to provide prototypes based on a wheeled variant of the bestselling K9 Thunder self-propelled artillery for the MTC program, which aims to develop a highly mobile 155 mm artillery system to replace the Army's aging M777 towed howitzers. The contract calls for the delivery of six MTC prototypes, with an option for an additional 12 systems, and has a cumulative value of up to $262.9 million, a
Adding 'jeong' to technology
This year, the combined operating profits of Korea’s semiconductor companies are expected to soar well beyond 500 trillion won ($373 billion), reaching unprecedented levels. Some have likened this extraordinary performance to winning a lottery. But I see it differently. What we are witnessing today, I believe, is not a stroke of good fortune. Rather, it is the culmination of decades of perseverance, sacrifice and dedication. As Koreans know well, countless companies, engineers and technicians have worked since the 1970s to build the foundations of the nation’s semiconductor industry. After nearly half a century of accumulated effort, the seeds they planted are finally coming to fruition. A similar story of long-term commitment can be found in the rapid growth of international students choosing to study in Korea. In 2023, the Ministry of Education launched the Study Korea 300K Project, setting a goal of attracting 300,000 international students by 2027. That target has already been achieved ahead of schedule, with the number of international students in Korea surpassing 300,000 this
Delivery fee cap risks shifting costs to riders, consumers
Pending bills at the National Assembly proposing a cap on delivery platform fees charged to food businesses to reduce their financial burdens, particularly small businesses with limited customer bases, are raising questions about the effectiveness of the proposed changes. Industry experts have examined the current ecosystem, which consists of food-ordering platforms, participating businesses, customers who place orders and riders who deliver them. They found that the cap could reduce the burden on businesses using the platforms but shift that cost to other groups in the ecosystem, such as riders and consumers. Three bills proposing different versions of the cap are pending at the National Assembly. One was proposed by Rep. Lee Kang-ill of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, a member of the National Policy Committee. He proposed capping the combined brokerage fee, payment processing fee and advertising expenses at 15 percent of an order's value, while imposing a separate cap and a minimum floor on delivery fees. Rep. Park Jeong-hun of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP) propo
N. Korea reports test-firing of 'tactical' ballistic missile to improve weapons systems
North Korea has test-fired a tactical ballistic missile to upgrade a key component of its weapons systems, which it called a "big success," the country's state media reported Tuesday. The report came a day after South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) detected multiple ballistic missiles launched from the Pyongyang area toward the East Sea. North Korea's missile administration "test-fired a tactical ballistic missile on Oct. 12 to confirm the success in the research for the technical upgrading of an important core element," the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) reported. The administration claimed that the upgrade "was a big success heralding an important change in improving the performance and sophistication of all offensive weapon systems," it added, describing the test as part of regular activities. The North did not disclose further details about the test-firing. The JCS earlier noted that North Korea launched multiple types of ballistic missiles, with one specific kind of missile flying more than 900 kilometers, and that South Korean and U.S. authorities were conducting a detailed
