our approach
how we provide relief from TMJ
At Weng’s Acupuncture & Herbs Clinic in San Diego, we delve into the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to offer relief from TMJ-related discomfort. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders are intricate conditions, often leading to pain in the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. Our approach to TMJ is holistic, focusing on both the symptom alleviation and the underlying imbalances that contribute to the condition. Through therapies such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and chiropractics, we aim to reduce inflammation, enhance circulation, and restore the harmony within the joint and surrounding muscles.

Navigating TMJ: Your Questions Answered
Dealing with health issues, regardless of their nature, often leads to a myriad of questions and concerns. Understanding the root causes, the symptoms, and most crucially, the effective treatment options can sometimes feel overwhelming. Recognizing the need for clarity and guidance, we’ve assembled a list of frequently asked questions tailored to address common health conditions for the people of San Diego.
TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, refers to a variety of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (the hinge connecting the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull) and the muscles responsible for jaw movement. These disorders can arise from a host of factors, including injury to the jaw, grinding or clenching of the teeth, arthritis in the joint, or even undue stress leading to tension in the jaw muscles. The result is a complex interplay of symptoms that affect not just the jaw, but also extend to the head, neck, and sometimes even the shoulders.
If you are suffering from TMJ and are located in the San Diego, CA area, we urge you to book a consultation with our incredible staff. At your consultation, we will dive into the root cause of your symptoms, develop a results-based action plan, and assist you on your journey to a happier, healthier, and pain-free life.
Symptoms associated with TMJ disorders can be multifaceted. Common indications include pain or tenderness in the jaw, aching pain around the ear, discomfort while chewing, facial pain, and locking of the joint, which can make it difficult to open or close the mouth. Additionally, some patients report a clicking sound or grating sensation when opening the mouth or chewing, though such sounds without pain often don’t necessitate treatment. Headaches, dizziness, and even hearing disturbances like tinnitus can sometimes be linked to TMJ disorders.

Given the complex nature of TMJ disorders, Weng’s Acupuncture & Herbs Clinic in San Diego, CA offers a comprehensive, tailored treatment plan for patients. Acupuncture often serves as the cornerstone of our approach, targeting specific meridians to alleviate the pain and balance the energy flow. Herbal remedies complement the acupuncture sessions, designed to reduce inflammation and promote joint and muscle health. Tui Na massage can also be integral to TMJ treatment. By focusing on the jaw area, it promotes better circulation, relaxes the surrounding muscles, and aids in reducing discomfort. In our holistic approach, we also emphasize patient education, teaching exercises and relaxation techniques that can help maintain joint health, alleviate pain, and prevent recurrence.

Embracing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for TMJ disorders is a decision to approach healing in a holistic, comprehensive manner. TCM doesn’t merely target the jaw pain or discomfort; it delves deeper into the root causes, recognizing the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. With its vast reservoir of knowledge cultivated over thousands of years, TCM treatments like acupuncture, herbs, and massage address not only the surface symptoms but the underlying imbalances that contribute to TMJ. The outcome is a more profound, sustained relief, and a sense of overall well-being. By integrating TCM into your TMJ treatment regimen, you’re choosing a path that values both immediate relief and long-term health.
