Ngā mea katoa e hiahia ana koe kia mōhio mō te ngoikore o te TMJ 🦷💥

I te Wenerei kua taha ake nei, i haere mai a Revathi (32 tau te pakeke), he kaiako yoga tana mahi, ki taku whare hauora. I ahua mataku ia.

"E Tākuta Priya, i ia wā ka kai ahau, ka rongo ahau i te tangi 'pāwhiri/pāpā' e puta mai ana i taku kauae maui. Haunga tēnā, he mamae puhoi tōku kua horapa mai i taku taringa ki tōku mata katoa mō ngā wiki e toru kua pahure ake nei. Kāore e taea e au te whakatuwhera whānui i tōku waha, te ngaungau rānei i taku kai," te whakamārama a Revathi i tana raruraru.

I tirotirohia e au tōna hononga kauae, ā, i whakamārama atu ahau: "E Revathi, kei te pāngia koe e tētahi mate e mōhiotia ana i roto i te pūtaiao hauora ko te TMJ Dysfunction (TMD) . He hononga tino uaua kei reira e hono ana i te kauae ki tō tātou angaanga, kei mua i ngā taha e rua o te taringa. Ko te hononga Temporomandibular (TMJ) tēnei. Ka puta tēnei i te nekehanga o te kōpae kiriuhi i roto i te hononga, te kuru kore mohio o ngā niho i te pō (Bruxism), te whakawhāiti rānei o ngā uaua kauae nā te ahotea hinengaro nui. I tēnei rā, kia tirohia he aha ngā rongoā me ngā mahi whakakori tinana ngāwari ka taea te mahi i te kāinga mō tēnei mate."

🚨 Ngā tohu whero e hiahia ana kia rapu awhina hauora tonu

Kāore te mamae o te kauae i te mea morearea, ā, ka memeha i roto i ētahi marama. Heoi, ki te pāngia koe e tētahi o ngā tohu whakatūpato e whai ake nei, me toro atu koe ki tētahi Taote Niho me te Upoko o te Mata i taua wā tonu:

• Kauae Maukati - Koinei te wā e mau ai te wheua kauae ki te wāhi kotahi, ā, e kore e taea te whakatuwhera katoa, te kati rānei i te waha.
• Te pupuhi nui huri noa i te hononga kauae, te whero o te kiri, me te kirika nui (he tohu pea ēnei o te mate rumatiki, he mate hononga).
• Te uaua ki te horomi, ki te manawa rānei (ehara pea tēnei i te raruraru o te hononga kauae, engari he tohu o te horapa o te mate niho kino ki te kaki).
• Te taumahatanga me te mamae i muri i tētahi aituā kino, i tētahi patunga rānei ki te mata, ki te kauae rānei (tērā pea he whati).

Ko ngā take matua o te ngoikore o te hononga temporomandibular

• Te kuru niho (Bruxism): Te pēhanga nui ki te hononga nā te āhua o te kuru, te ngau rānei i ō niho i te wā e moe ana.
• Taumahatanga: Ka taea e te taumahatanga nui te whakakiki i ngā uaua o te kauae me te kore e mōhio.
• Mate rumatiki: Te pirau o te kiriuhi i roto i te hononga nā ngā āhuatanga pēnei i te osteoarthritis, te rheumatoid arthritis rānei.
• Tūnga Kino: Mā te noho roa ki mua i te rorohiko me te piko o tō mahunga ki mua ka pā he kore taurite ki ngā hononga o te kaki me te kauae.
• Ngā tikanga ngaungau: Te ngaungau pinepine i te kapia, te ngaungau rānei i ngā mea mārō pērā i ngā pene me ngā whao.
