How it works
Heat relaxes masseter and temporalis muscle spasm, reducing the primary driver of TMD pain. Cold reduces joint inflammation and oedema in acute TMJ arthritis or injury.
Heat (warm pack, towel) is more appropriate for chronic muscular jaw pain. Cold is more appropriate for acute joint inflammation or post-procedure. Use over the jaw and temple area, not the eye.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
