Just A Few Of The Things We Will Look At
Why do I have Headaches, Jaw Pain, And Muscle Tension?
When we’re not breathing properly, our body can start pushing our head forward to open up airway. The only problem? That constant head lean puts a serious strain on our muscles and fascia. And if you’re wondering, fascia is like that clingy, all-encompassing cellophane wrap that surrounds everything in our body, holding it all together. When it’s stressed out, it tightens up and gets a little grumpy.
Now, about that forward head posture, it might be more than just a bad habit. It could actually be a sign of a tongue-tie, which is basically your tongue being tethered down too tightly to allow the movement it needs. This can cause all sorts of tension, including those pesky headaches, along with neck and shoulder pain. It’s like your body’s way of saying, “Hey, I need some help here!”
Oh, and if you’re grinding your teeth at night? Yep, that’s often your body’s desperate attempt to open up the airway. But guess what? It also causes jaw pain. So, it’s a double whammy! When the tongue isn’t doing its job properly or the oral muscles are a bit weak, this whole cycle gets worse.
Enter Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy. This therapy swoops in aiming to restore proper function, and when we treat the root cause instead of just slapping a band-aid on the symptoms, people often find the relief they’ve been searching for! Who knew that fixing your tongue could change your life?
Is Snoring Really That Bad?
The answer is a big “yes”! Not only can it disrupt everyone else’s sleep, but it’s also a sign your airway is less than ideal. In other words, you’re struggling to breathe.
You might also notice that you wake up at least once (maybe a few times) in the middle of the night, and when the alarm goes off, you feel like you’ve been hit by a bus. A tired brain is no fun, and that “foggy” feeling just makes you feel like you’re walking through quicksand all day.
This could also mean you’re dealing with sleep apnea, which is sneaky and can go undetected for a lot of people. It’s kind of like a ninja problem that you don’t notice until it’s too late. But no worries, we can dive into that when you book your exam!
Anytime your brain goes without oxygen, it’s bad for your overall health. If it happens often enough, it can lead to things like heart problems, weight gain, and even make you a little grumpier than usual.
But don’t panic! Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy can help restore your tongue to its proper throne (yes, your tongue has a royal job to do) and strengthen those mouth muscles so you can breathe easy and sleep like a champ.
Swallowing And Digestion
If you’re gobbling down your food like you’re racing against the clock, your digestive system is probably working overtime, and not in a good way. Eating too quickly can throw off digestion, and that’s just asking for trouble. It’s actually one of the culprits behind acid reflux. So, next time you’re in a hurry, remember: your stomach doesn’t need a sprint, it needs a slow, steady jog!
Now, if you’ve ever found it hard to swallow your food, it might be because some muscles are stepping in to help out… that really shouldn’t be helping.
It’s kind of like when you hurt your leg and limp around for a while, your body compensates in a way that doesn’t quite work, right? Same idea here! We’re asking the wrong muscles to do the job, and they’re just not cut out for it.
The thing is, many of us have been doing this for so long that we just accept it as normal. But here’s the catch, this muscle juggling act can cause bigger issues as we age. And that’s why some people end up choking on food.
So, let’s get ahead of it and take care of these symptoms sooner rather than later, so we can avoid any big problems down the road. Your digestive system (and your future self) will thank you!
