- ArthritisBefore we get to what alleviates arthritis pain, we have to first address what causes the problem. First, there are different types of arthritis. Some are autoimmune-related, such as rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis. These are caused by your immune system mistakingly attacking certain areas of your body, including your joints. This often requires immunosuppressant drugs to diminish the body's immune response. However, the most common arthritis is osteoarthritis. In the spine, this will also be called degenerative joint disease or degenerative disc disease.
- FibromyalgiaMany possible causes of muscle spasms include dehydration, fatigue, stress, poor posture, and physical exertion. Inflammation, injury, and certain medical conditions, such as fibromyalgia and spinal stenosis, can also lead to muscle spasms.
- Primary CareWho do you see for help? Most people think of their primary care physician, their dentist, or a physical therapist for TMJ treatment. These professionals all see patients for this condition but in reality, there isn’t a temporomandibular joint specialist. Often times, the TMJ treatments recommended by these professions will include muscle relaxers that make you groggy and don’t fix the issue, or anti-inflammatory drugs that affect your liver or digestive tract and offer only temporary relief. There will often be large financial expenses associated with mouth guards or braces and sometimes even surgical recommendations.
- Emergency CareIt is important to note that muscle spasms can sometimes be a sign of a more serious medical condition. Suppose you experience severe or frequent muscle spasms or have a medical history that puts you at risk of severe conditions, such as a pinched nerve or arthritis. In that case, it is essential to seek medical attention. In some cases, a visit to the emergency room may be necessary.
