OK, so He had his hands inside my mouth as he identified the muscles in my jaws that were overly tight and tense. Pressed into each pressure point with exquisite pain, sustained for a count of 10. Alternated both sides of the face with this pressure pointings. Very quickly I felt my cheeks becomed warm and tingly as blood started to circulate in the areas. He identified some areas in C1 and C2 that were involved, and adjusted those, no problem there.
Then the accupuncture with spots on my hands, across my forehead, my sinus on either side of my nose, the jaw area where the pain seems to be emanating from. Laid down in a darkened, quiet room with soothing music played. I had an enormous panic attack, and did my yoga breathing through it which worked to distract me.3 more sessions and he says I'm done. It does feel much beter. Good not to feel preoccupied about how my head is feeling.
I have made an emotional and mental connection with this TMJ problem happening during my perimenopause and the 20-year bout of acne along my jaw line that begain in earnest with puberty, It's the same pain, the same preoccupation. There feels like more and better answers this time around.
