@drjoedamiani: 🔥 Dizziness AND jaw tension? Your TMJ might be contributing to both! If you're constantly feeling dizzy while also experiencing jaw tightness or pain, the connection could involve your nervous system. 💡 Here's what's happening: ⚡ Your jaw and balance system communicate with interconnected brain regions involved in processing pain, movement, and fear. ⚡ The amygdala helps process threat and emotional responses, which may contribute to the anxiety that often accompanies dizziness. ⚡ Increased nervous system sensitivity can amplify symptoms, making jaw discomfort and dizziness feel more intense. 🛠️ Try these 3 exercises: ✅ STEP 1: TMJ MOBILITY With clean hands, gently guide your lower jaw downward using a finger along your lower teeth, then release and repeat without forcing the movement. ✅ STEP 2: MASSETER RELEASE Place your fingertips along your jaw muscles. Slowly look upward while dragging your fingers downward and opening your mouth to stretch the masseter. ✅ STEP 3: NECK CONTROL Gently tuck your chin backward and slowly rotate your head side to side while maintaining control. 🔥 Why this matters: Your jaw, neck, and balance system share important sensory connections. Improving mobility and coordination in these areas may help when jaw or neck dysfunction contributes to dizziness. The goal here is to reduce unnecessary tension, improve sensory coordination, and help your jaw, neck, and balance system work together more efficiently. #Dizziness #TMJ #JawTension #NeckMobility #PhysicalTherapy
