Got a TMJ MRI yesterday and have an appointment next week to talk it over with a maxillofacial specialist.
Yes, I used to fall asleep during the acupuncture..I loved it. Thanks for the letting me know your parents experience. We will see what helps.
Hope you are doing well,
Tracy
One of my parents has been getting PT for their neck, which is in horrible shape by x-ray. They have done tens unit, traction, heat, tips on improving posture, and exercises, though I don't think they've been doing deep tissue massage. I had an acupuncturist do some massage on my trapezius and neck area and it was really nice, helped the muscles relax.
