TMJ disorders

The jaw joint is the most stressed and at the same time one of the most complex joints in the body. Its disorders can fundamentally limit our daily life.

What is reflux?

Gastroesophageal reflux is the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus. This is a natural phenomenon occurring in each of us, especially after eating, and serves primarily to remove gas from the stomach.

Repeated and prolonged exposure of the esophageal mucosa to stomach contents may cause unpleasant subjective symptoms or damage to the mucosa in the esophagus, pharynx, oral cavity, or respiratory tract. At that moment we are already talking about gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Causes

Jaw joint disorders usually have multiple causes that interact with each other. From the point of view of physiotherapy, we are particularly interested in certain imbalances in the muscle and joint apparatus, which can lead to joint dysfunction and painful muscle spasms.

 

However, we must never forget the psychological and social factors as well, as they often play a crucial role here, as well as increased sensitivity to pain.

Stiff muscles, inflammation or arthritis?

The problem of the jaw joint includes many different manifestations and even more causes. However, if we only talk about pain, it most often arises as a result of excessive and uneven tension of muscles and ligaments leading to incorrect position and function of the joint. Less often, the pain itself is caused by an inflammatory or degenerative disease such as arthrosis or arthritis. That is why we prefer to use the label of disorder or dysfunction of the jaw joint rather than the disease or inflammation itself, because these may not often be present and contribute to pain. Biopsychosocial factors have a significant influence, which you will read about below.

Did you know that...

of people in Western countries suffer from reflux. At the same time, studies mostly include only basic symptoms (heartburn and regurgitation), so these numbers are still significantly underestimated.

Patients with untreated and long-standing reflux have a greater risk of developing Barrett's esophagus, which is a precancerous condition.

99 %

in patients with heartburn, the esophageal mucosa is not damaged and their return of stomach contents is completely physiological. In addition, 50% of them do not respond to conventional drug treatment. This is the so-called "functional heartburn".
