Good day.
I like to inquire about the following:
a. Pain related to sprained ankle. – I had a sprained ankle last 2004. There is on and off pain. Pain usually occur after long walks. Tendency of right foot to recur sprain is likely to happen specially when I step on a slightly un-even surface.
b. TMJ related pain – I am currently being treated for TMJ disorder through a TMJ dental practioner. Do you have treatment which may support relief from TMJ pain and discomfort.
Thank you in advance and good day.
Mike
Hi Mike,
Pain is generally a warning signal from your body that something is wrong with the affected area. If your sprained ankle is still giving you problems every time you subject it to long walks or uneven surfaces then it probably hasn’t healed properly. There could be a “chronic-sprain” with some sort of scaring in the ligaments that needs to be addressed or even a slight mis-alignment of the bones of the ankle causing more stress on that ligament.
TMJ is very much related to the alignment of the upper 2 bones of the cervical area called the Atlas and the Axis. Any problems with these – can contribute significantly to a jaw problems. Also myo-fascial releases of the muscles of the jaw – Pterygoids will help unload TMJ associated pain and discomfort.
