Does stress make my jaw hurt more?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an "emotional repository." When we get angry or tense, we unconsciously clench our teeth. Stress causes our shoulders to stiffen and our jaw to tense, which intensifies the pain. Psychological relaxation is part of the treatment.

마음의 짐을 내려놓아야 턱의 긴장도 함께 풀립니다.

  • 교감신경: 스트레스가 근육 긴장과 통증을 유발하고, 이것이 다시 스트레스로 이어지는 악순환이 반복됩니다.
  • 한방: 가미소요산처럼 뭉친 기운을 풀어주는(소간해울) 한약 처방이 도움이 됩니다.
💡 복식호흡

한숨을 쉬듯 깊게 내쉬는 호흡은 턱과 어깨의 힘을 빼는 가장 좋은 방법입니다.
