Sculptural & Buccal Massage
for Jaw Pain and Stress Release

Understanding TMJ (TMD)

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) — often called TMJ — affects the hinge-like joints that connect your jawbone to your skull. These joints allow you to chew, speak, and yawn. But when the cartilage disk or the joint itself becomes injured, inflamed, or misaligned, you may experience pain, jaw clicking, headaches, or difficulty moving your jaw. Teeth grinding (bruxism), stress-related jaw clenching, or arthritis can further aggravate TMJ issues.

Common TMJ Symptoms:

Jaw pain or tenderness (especially near the ears)
Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
Headaches, neck, or shoulder pain
Limited jaw movement or locking
Ringing in the ears or dizziness

For many, conventional treatments like mouthguards, medication, or physical therapy help manage TMJ. But there’s also a holistic approach available here at Face Cult to address TMJ discomfort from the inside out: our Sculptural + Buccal Massage.

How Our Sculptural + Buccal Massage Helps TMJ

At Face Cult, we specialize in advanced facial massage techniques that target not just the skin but also the deep facial muscles—particularly the masseter muscle, which is often a culprit in TMJ pain.

Sculptural Massage (external):
- Releases tension and muscle blocks in the jaw, neck, and facial muscles.
- Improves blood circulation and lymphatic drainage for a natural lift.
- Boosts elastin and collagen for a youthful, sculpted look.
Buccal Massage (internal):
- Performed inside the mouth (with gloves), directly accessing the masseter and other deep facial muscles.
- Relieves tension and clenching that can cause TMJ pain.
- Helps improve jaw alignment and reduce inflammation.

Combined, these two techniques offer a powerful therapy for TMJ relief, while also promoting a visibly lifted, contoured, and rejuvenated face.
