Acupuncture can be used to help you with your TMJ by deactivating trigger points in your masseter muscle. This is the main muscle in your jaw. It can also be used to relax the muscle above the jaw joint and around the ear (parietal muscles and temporalis muscles).
Acupuncture helps by inserting needles into the origin and insertion of jaw muscles. It can also insert them into the belly or centre of the jaw muscles to relax them.
Acupuncture would also be used in other areas of the body to treat TMJ these points would be used to:
increase your serotonin levels to decrease your stress.
decrease your adrenalin and cortisol levels to decrease your stress.
This is because a lot of TMJ problems are related to stress that is affecting your consciously or subconsciously.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an important part of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with Chinese herbal medicine, tui na (orthopedic massage) and Qi Gong (meditation and energy healing.)
With a history of almost 3000 years it is still used extensively today to treat literally millions of people around the world.
Acupuncture affects the physiological functioning of the body by the insertion of fine needles into particular reflex points all over the body.
How does acupuncture work?

Medically acupuncture works by regulating carious systems in the body – hormonal, nervous, immune, circulatory, muscular etc.
In traditional Chinese Medicine theory, acupuncture regulates the flow of qi (pronounced chee), a type of unseen energy or electromagnetic force traveling in a system of channels which connect acupncture points to tissues and organs.
Does it Hurt?
Some sensitive patients do feel some discomfort when the needles first go in, but most people are pleasantly surprised at how comfortable acupuncture therapy is, often falling asleep on the treatment table. The needles are generally between 0.2 and 0.25mm in width. Five of these fit in the bore of one hyperdermic needle….they are as fine as a human hair!

They are inserted quickly to minimize skin pain, and when correctly stimulated, there is a feeling of tingling, mild cramping or an electric sensation at the point.

How deep the needles are inserted varies from a few millimetres to a couple of inches or more depending on the size of the patient and where the point lies on the body.
Do Acupuncturist have to study in China?
Australia is leading the western world in it’s availability of university based degree courses in Chinese Medicine – majoring in acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, or both – and most of these institutions have affiliations with Chinese Medicine teaching hospitals to provide an opportunity for post-graduate study. Chinese Medicine practitioners are now governed by new ligeslation passed on by Australian Government preventing unqualified people from calling themselves Acupuncturists or Chinese Medicine Practitioners.
