Ten Remedies to help Release tense, locked jaw and Recover from Trismus.
Trismus or Lockjaw is a bilateral restriction in mouth opening. It is a medical condition in which the normal motion of the mandible ( jaw) is reduced as a result of sustained, tetanic spasm of the masticatory muscles mediated by the trigeminal nerve. It causes spasms in the mastication muscles, which we use to chew. The muscles tighten and shorten, hindering the temporomandibular joint's movement. Find tips to help heal from lock jaw.
