FACIAL FITNESS MAKES TMJ PAIN GO AWAY!
DENTISTS ARE USING NON-INVASIVE FACIAL FITNESS TO TREAT TMJ SUFFERERS

Miami, FL (November 17, 2008) – The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimate that over 10 million in the United States suffer from TMJ - and according to the American Dental Association, more than fifteen percent of them also have chronic face pain. Using the Dental M6, Facial Fitness is now being used to treat muscle pain related to jaw disorders in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This new, non-invasive treatment helps relax tensions in masticator muscles and fascia to eliminate muscle spasms, relieve pain points, revitalize circulation, restore range of motion and prevent ‘jaw lock’.

TMJ, an abbreviation for ‘temporomandibular joint,’ connects the mandible (lower jaw bone) to the skull’s temporal bone (sides and base of skull, the temple area). This little joint is responsible for our ability to bite, chew, swallow, speak and make facial expressions, so when it’s not working properly; it’s a big problem. Typical symptoms of TMJ include aches and pains in the jaw and surrounding area (including the ear, which is often confused with earaches), inability to open one’s mouth comfortably, a popping, clicking or grating jaw joint, ‘lock jaw’ (where your mouth simply refuses to open very far), headaches, an uncomfortable or painful bite, neck, shoulder and back pain, facial swelling and dizziness. And when the discomfort is protracted, sufferers will experience long-term, chronic pain. Previously, treatment for the muscle pain related to TMJ disorders have been limited to manual stress reducing exercises, oral muscle relaxants, splint or mouth guards (prevent nighttime teeth grinding) and reconstructive surgery. Not anymore.

Facial Fitness introduces a new, highly effective and 100% non-invasive treatment for TMJ muscle pain. It works exceptionally well because it treats muscle tension, one of the major causes of TMJ. Dr. Joseph G. Willardsen, a prominent dentist in Las Vegas, Nevada (whose celebrity clientele and comprehensive background in advanced neuromuscular dentistry make him a frequent television commentator) explains, “I use Facial Fitness as neuromuscular therapy with orthotic splint therapy for best results. Applying ischemic pressure to jaw muscle trigger points (masticator muscles like the temporalis, lateral pterygoid, masseter and medial pterygoid) relieves pain and relaxes the muscle tensions that cause the spasms. I also do isometric contraction and relaxation exercises with Facial Fitness to stretch tense muscle fibers, restore circulation and enhance range of motion.”

Facial Fitness is performed with the Dental M6, the newest addition to LPG’s line of therapeutic medical devices cleared to improve local blood circulation, relieve aches and pains and relax muscle tensions (like TMJ). But it isn’t just good for relieving TMJ muscle pain; it’s also pre-programmed for such cosmetic applications as fine lines, wrinkles, slackening facial contours and aging skin. Dentists like Dr. Willardsen have found that it’s not only a very effective treatment for TMJ muscle pain, but it’s also a great way to boost business – and profitability – without the pain of insurance or dental board regulations (Treatments are about $85-$95 per session, with packages of 10-12 sessions recommended).
