TMJ - What Causes it, What to do....
One of the reasons I see so much failed TMJ treatments in my clinic is because their actual cause of it was missed. They get night splints, scans, injections etc but no lasting relief. Years ago, I started to ask myself why are these muscles locked down around the TMJ. I had an insight, they were stressed! Clinching was subconscious to them and a lot were grinding in their sleep. I also saw a pattern, that these patients also had neck hypertonicity, headaches a lot of the time in addition to TMJ. In these patients they had too much stress. I call these "Stress injuries". When I identified that root cause for them was stress I would tell them that and they would argue with me saying I am not stressed! Most people live at constant level of stress that they are unaware of I found. I asked them to meditate but patient after patient refused so I gave up on that as I realized I had better luck asking them to change their religion! (literally) A great help was a GOOD CBD 3x a day at a dose they feel relaxed at in 2.5 hrs. Side note: I have found TMJ patients to be the least complaint patients I have ever worked with! What has worked for you?

Stroke client question
Hi everyone. I am new to this group and have just started applying what I haven't learned with the myofascial referral method and have had much success. I do have a question, I have a post stroke client (Aug 2026) who still has tightness in his effected knee, I have done foam rolling via stick and stretching but he says its still like a turnic around his knee. I am guessing its something nerve related, but not sure. Is there something I can do using the referral method to help?

that can be complicated due to the stroke, however, I would use my SI eval method to screen for referred pain into the knee from the SI. If it relieves when you realign and hold the SI open then it indicates SI referred pain into the knee. Im glad you having success with the myofascial method!

Have You Seen This?
I treat what I call the "I have failed everything patient." I tell people once you start learning how to properly diagnose these conditions and have protocols to treat them effectively, you will have a level of job satisfaction that you never thought possible. People ask me "Ryan, don't you want to work with athletes?" No, I don't I have worked in the NFL and all kinds of pros with my methods being used in pro sports and I would rather work with patients like this. This patient told me "I am in so much pain for so long and no one takes its seriously" she was sobbing, (very typical people cry in my clinic when someone finally understands what was wrong and get them out of pain!) My favorite part about this job is in the final video, she smiles! Watch all 3 videos. I documented her beginning, 4 weeks and final discharge appt. I show you how I helped her! Have you taken patients that are totally deblilitated like this to complete recovery? Comment below I want to hear!

@Tim Meszar I struggled with this but there comes a point where I had to for my own mental health say I can’t save people that don’t want to do the work. It’s their choice. In my cash based clinic people are paying a lot and rarely does someone not do what I say

@Robert Wilson ya 7 visits it was around 8 weeks which is typical for these patients using my protocols. Ya I think I’m not as important as I am I realized although I can speed it up and relieve pain immediately usually it was my orthopedic protocols with corrective exercises that fixes my patients. I troubleshoot when needed but I try to stay out of the way and let them work!
Treatment Resistant Neck Pain - Try This!
I treat what I call the "I have failed everything patients" meaning most come in totally frustrated that no one can truly help them or tell them what's wrong. I see mechanical issues all day (SI jt/sacral) but also see mainly women with neck pain that has been treatment resistant. Years ago, I realized doing exercises are not going to relax the hypertonicity they had. What would cause that? STRESS! Everyone was focusing on the muscular system (massages, injections, skeletal muscle relaxers) but it would return which means the root cause was being missed! What controls the muscular system? The nervous system! I started calming down the nervous system and their neck hypertonicity would relax. Root cause vs. treating symptoms. Grounding pillow cases (23$ on Amazon) CBD ( a good one) 3x a day that the patient FEELS relaxed at 2.5 hours (not tired) I usually can get their neck tension down 50% just with that protocol! I don't treat necks without doing this. Neck pain is a 2 dimensional issue for me, stress and postural/ mechanical. I rarely feel worried about my neck pain patients getting better! Anyone trying this? Comment below
