Osteopathy in the treatment of bruxism
Osteopathy in the treatment of bruxism - natural support for your jaw
Have you ever woken up with a sore jaw, no knowing Why? Or have loved ones noticed you grinding your teeth at night? It is possible that you are suffering from bruxism - a problem that affects up to one in two adults. W clinic Unident Union® in Wrocław we offer an effective and non-invasive solution - osteopathy.
What is bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary clenching of the jaws or grinding of the teeth - it can occur both day and night. It manifests itself not only with jaw discomfort, but also with headaches, neck pain, back pain and even tinnitus. Many people do not realise for a long time that they are suffering from this condition.
Main causes of bruxism
Bruxism is a complex problem, the causes of which can be:
- Physiological - malocclusion, incorrectly performed dental procedures
- Psychological - chronic stress, anxiety, sleep disorders
- Environmental - smoking, excessive use of caffeine, alcohol
- Functional - disorders of the temporomandibular joints
Effects of untreated bruxism
Lack of treatment can lead to a range of serious conditions:
- Abrasion of enamel and damage to teeth
- Head, neck and back pain
- Tinnitus and hearing impairment
- Change of the facial oval ("square face")
- Sleep and concentration problems
Osteopathy - a natural approach to treating bruxism
Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on restoring balance to the body. In treating bruxism, the osteopath works not only with the jaw but also with the whole body, taking into account the nervous, muscular and cranial systems.
Most commonly used techniques:
- Soft tissue work
- Temporomandibular joint mobilisation
- Manual repositioning of the articular disc
All techniques are performed in our clinic Unident Union® in Wrocław, in a comfortable environment, by experienced osteopaths and therapists.
The nervous system and bruxism
Stress and nervous tension have a huge impact on facial muscle tension. Osteopathy, by also acting on the vegetative system, helps to reduce stress, improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of bruxism - especially where other methods fail.
