Gua Sha and TMJ: Gentle Relief Through Traditional Healing

Gua Sha and TMJ treatment is a growing area of interest among individuals seeking natural relief from jaw tension, pain, and stiffness. TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) can lead to symptoms like jaw locking, clicking, headaches, and facial pain. Often exacerbated by stress or poor posture, TMJ can significantly impact one’s quality of life.

Gua Sha, a traditional Chinese scraping technique, is used to break up fascia tension and improve circulation in affected areas. When applied gently to the neck, jawline, and upper shoulders, it relieves tightness and promotes lymphatic drainage, reducing inflammation in the temporomandibular region.

For those suffering from TMJ symptoms, Phases Chinese Medicine Clinic offers personalized Gua Sha treatments that address both the physical and emotional causes of tension. Feel the difference of this holistic therapy rooted in centuries-old Chinese medicine.
