I have a method for self-treatment of the TMJ here, please watch and learn!

The amount of money I’d pay to get a session like this from Dr. Russ is outrageous
Only chiro I know of that takes the time, with the expertise, to relax muscles prior to adjustments. A lot of respect for his technique and discipline.
I appreciate the kind words, very much. Thank you!
you should definitely Dr. Mondragon and her siblings channels, they do similar work that’s equally enjoyable!!
@@charisbrianna9775 Dr. Brenda’s tight clothing, wild body workouts and exalted bone crackings are not half as educating and effective, as this expertise is.
Luckily my chiropractor takes a good about of time addressing my muscles before each adjustment
@@chrissiebabe234 ah yes, bc you can't be a good doctor if you're also wearing leggings 😒
The Bob Ross of the chiropractor World. Efficient and relaxing
This video is incredibly relaxing. The calm tone and demeanor is excellent. I also appreciate how you explain everything you’re doing and why it’s important. Great job!
Thank you! I enjoyed making it and am enjoying seeing that others are learning and benefitting from it. I appreciate the views and your comment. Thanks!!
This guy is BRILLIANT! His relaxed demeanor sort of hides (or comes from?) his efficiency. Care looks comprehensive and considerate. This is really impressive.
You are very kind to say so. Thank you!
It’s the way you educate your audience while carefully working on your patients that is so relaxing! We appreciate you Doc!
Thank you!! I appreciate you too!
I think ol' Bob Ross would definitely be proud of your videos!!!
this is so calming, i’m finding myself falling asleep! wow i am so glad i found this channel-i love how he’s explaining everything and it’s nice to see him massage the patients before… instead of just popping and moving their bones and joints
Illustrations of areas as they are worked is a great addition!
Thanks! We like it too, and we'll keep adding them to new videos. Thank you for the feedback!
Great job. Thank you for taking the time and patience to deliver this therapeutic work to your client. I’m sure they feel immensely better. The clients that I work with are always so happy to get this important work. 🙌🏽
Absolutely brilliant, gentle and holistic approach to musculoskeletal treatment. Amazing doc.
I also like that there are no forceful or aggressive movements in this technique, contrasting high velocity chiropractic approach.
There are so many channels featuring high velocity adjustments! No need for another one...and these treatments are genuinely how I think bodies need to be worked with. Thanks for your feedback!
This was extremely relaxing. I miss being able to have adjustments done. I separated some vertebrae in my neck a number of years ago and am quite frankly pretty nervous about it. This is definitely the next best thing. Thank you
Looks so relaxing. I would fall asleep. Great job!
Great explanations with anatomical reference points and therapeutic massage technique. I found the synchronized breathing and fascia release movements very soothing. Thank you!
Dr. Russm your voice is so relaxing :) as somebody with TMJ problems, this gives me hope that it can be helped
Awesome work doctor, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I love your videos. They are amazing and professional. Having overwhelmed nervous system and now working in fight/flight mode - I have foung Fascia treatment and exercises - so effective for me. Thank you David for your opened and full of Awarness job . Moreover massage are my Soul's calling. and now i feel ready to start this journey 💓
WOW!! Just saw this, fantastic info.
I have had TMJ issues since my teens. Wish there was a clinic with the knowledge, expertise and patience for treatment. Great job sir…..
Thanks so much. I did a little on myself I’ve been so miserable. Noticed such a difference right away-even though I know I’m not skilled like you I’m appreciative. ❤
I'm so glad you got some relief!
Wow I am impressed!!! Fantastic work! Your explanation, direction, expertise, gentleness and calmness is perfect!!!!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind encouragement. If there is some treatment or technique you are particularly interested, you can let me know and we will try to do a video on it.
Nice to see you back making videos!
You have no idea how excited it makes me when u upload a new patient video 😁🤗
Well that makes me happy!
Thank you for this, felt relaxed immediately
I am relaxed just by watching this, thank you
Dr. Russ!! I can't believe I just found your channel, this was such a great video! Currently in the UWS DC program, so greetings from Portland as well! Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
How cool! You're welcome to reach out if you would like to visit the clinic. Find me through the website happyspinepdx.com
What wonderful release. I suffer from TMJ. I need this kind of help.
You need a night guard.
THE GOAT IS BACK!!!!!
I could watch this all day
Glad you're back Dr. Russ! 😀
Hell yeah, this is awesome!!! I learned these intra-oral techniques in a Neuromuscular Therapy seminar I took for the cervical region, but I’ve never really used them. I work in a spa, but also with a PT who is an acupuncturist as well. I could probably start doing it there, since I still have the course manual. This is super relaxing as always!! Thank you for this! It’s good to see it.
Finally understanding my headaches. This is exactly where all my headache pain is!!!
I just found your channel and this was a fascinating bit of info. I'm a bodyworker primarily doing gentle touch modalities, and neck and head work is something almost everyone needs but very few therapists have the knowledge and touch to work intraoral with such finesse. I'll definitely be back!
Thank you for the support and encouragement. Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see.

I wonder if this is really helpful for the patient because you're explaining in detail what you're doing. As a patient I would love that
👍 Good Doctor and teacher. TMJ problems are difficult .
Tobias Funke became a chiro?
In all seriousness, great video. I desperately need this treatment
I wish you were in the UK. This looks super relaxing and you know what you are doing. Fantastic job. I’m trying not to fall asleep whilst watching the video and listening to your voice.
This looks absolutely great against my headaches and jaw pain. So relaxing yo see also. Fantastic job, thanks for sharing!
Wow. An unbelievable amount to be learned here. Fantastic!
The first part is a nice alternative to the “Matt” video that is no longer with us. Very soothing.
Great video Dr! Keep up your great work and hopefully more videos to come..Also I just subscribed to your channel Respect from Upland, California.
Thank you!
The King Returns!
You have a very soothing presence!
Very nice, cool stuff
Well done
Great video! Very gentle & informative. Also helped get me sleepy for bed. Thanks for the video!
Great ASMR vibe…
That reminds me on dr. Gill‘s video, very professional
I'm entranced. The stimulation of these calm, big words in my ears and close subtle sounds is making me melt and turn into jelly in the best sense possible! 😮🫠
Wonderful!
Many thanks!
Thank You
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. We enjoyed making it.
Elite video 👏
As a former dental hygienist, this was interesting. Wish I was laying there in her place!
Thank you for this video!😊 I have TMJ. It has caused me to have vertigo and the pain has also spread to my ears, neck, shoulders etc. I have a night guard but it only helps a little. I really don’t want to have surgery
I thought for the longest time that you had quit youtube.
Then I find that that isn't true.
I am so damn happy.
I also have TMJ from having my wisdom teeth removed :( it doesn’t bother me much anymore, only when eating kind of, which kinda sucks. But this looks so relaxing!
I suffer from Fibromyalgia, Chronic pain, RA and Sjögren's syndrome ....Some people think Sjögren's syndrome is just dry eyes and mouth but mine is affecting my joints and muscles and so on ........ So I am always in pain and I want to thank you 😊 ❤️ your videos ASMR have helpede sleep 😴 rest I get so relaxed hearing you explain what your doing and your massages .....So thank you I appreciate your videos 💟
I am grateful for your encouragement and appreciation and I'm glad to know that my videos bring you relaxation and sleep. Autoimmunity is so difficult and I wish you all the best in your efforts for healing and ease in your body.
#ASMR heavenly voice and video ❤❤
Amazing video, Doc!
I’m hoping to see some trap / scapula work soon. ;)
We'll do that, Brian. Anything in particular you are interested in seeing?
@@DrRussInYourPocket Thanks, Doc.
Anything working the interior of the shoulder blade really. The trap, rhomboid, spine of the scapula area is typically something for me they easily holds soreness.
@@brianlynchmsb yes
You are the perfect Trifecta: ASMR + Chiropractic/Massage & Anatomy/Physiology

You are so beautifull Soul ❤. There is Love and Peace inside your Being and I am so grateful to Awarness that It has led me to you 💙🙏
I would love one of these massages I’m having a tmj flare up it sucks horribly
The patients are probably excited for his appointments.
Rene is awesome!
She is a lovely person, and so generous to allow us to demonstrate on her.
I used to see a lady who did very similar massage work on these same areas and it was a God send. I've been trying to find someone with similar expertise in my area, and I'm curious if there is something specific to look for that might help me?
It's not easy to find people that can do this type of work. Look for myofascial release practitioners with at least 8 years of experience and ask them how often they do neck and jaw work.
Some dentist are great some are trash. I wish you the best healing possible
You're very kind and and thank you
Dr Russ- just found you! I have these exact problems. I would love to come for an appointment. How do I find out where your practice is located?
Portland Oregon www.happyspinepdx.com
I need an appointment! Big time
It’s fascinating to see massage therapists and other related practitioners/doctors work on releasing tense muscles, I wonder if it’s anything like a swordsmith working impurities out of metal, mixed with a ceramicist molding imperfections out of their clay?
It feels that way sometimes.
This… this is da best guy
Im having really bad TMJ issues. Nothing is helping the pain. Lower teeth hurt, ear hurts, head hurts and even my neck and I also feel it in my collar bone area. And the jaw joint area is so sensitive it’s a really bad flairup. Do you know anyone in FL that works on this that is reputable? I had to have one oral surgery situation and they thought maybe the disc in my jaw joint was out of place but it didn’t do anything to fix it. They are wanting to go in again and remove any bone pieces that could be causing clicking and such. I feel like I just need someone to do what you just did in this video. I can’t imagine how wonderful that patient must have felt after that.
Hello, thank you for the question. I wish I had a referral for you. I recommend you Google "TMJ myofascial release" and your city, see what comes up. You can use my contact form happyspinepdx.com/contact to share any links with me and I will help you narrow down your search.
i’d kill to have this done. my muscles are so tight right now, my tmj is so bad
I hope you find relief. If you're ever in Portland, I'd be happy to work with you!
Nice to see a chiro do massage work and even more so advanced techniques w myofascial
Glad you like it!
Honest question, as I haven’t visited any type of medical. Does one go to any chiropractor for this, or is it necessary for a specialist, if there is one? Seriously bad clicking of my left jaw.
Jaw clicking can be so uncomfortable! Definitely do not just go to any chiro. Please find someone who does this frequently, gently, and will take their time
Gosh, I wish you were in Austin, TX.
I'm actually going to visit the US so I can see the great Dr Russ.
You know, I've always had this doubt but what are the sort of situations where I can tell myself that I should visit a chiro and not a GP for an issue I might have. I'm just genuinely curious because I've wanted to visit a chiropractor when I get some time. Also if it's just for relaxation, then what advantages does a chiro have over a massage therapist?
This is a great question! On one level, a chiropractor will be a better resource than an LMT because we have more tools and treatments at our disposal. I find that my sessions are more productive than a GP visit because I am practiced at touch and manual diagnosis...if you go to a GP you might get painkillers and you might get a PT referral. But the bottom line is that the relationship and the trust are more important than the degree. So find a provider that you feel safe with, who listens to you and cares about your well-being, and go with that. Be well, and thank you for the question!
@@DrRussInYourPocket Thank you for replying, this has given me a lot more clarity!
Excellent!!
You are describing and treating the problems I'm experiencing. Where are you located?
Hello! I live and work in Portland, Oregon
@Dr. David Russ I'm in south Louisiana. Can you give me question recommendations I could ask a potential Dr or massage therapist? I'd appreciate anything you can recommend. Thank you.
I love this type of massage! I wish I could get it weekly 😂 I have so many issues with my jaw and have been looking for a good cure for over 20 years now. Botox helps but the real answer for me is surgery but surgeons won’t do it because I’m not in any pain, just discomfort…so I’m left with frequent Botox and massage. My SCMs are always sore and my pterygoids - I always need them firmly massaged and released. My masseters are nice and mobile with the Botox.
I hope you can find a provider that can help you get to the next step.
Would something like this help tinnitus? I have the kind that gets louder when clenching my teeth.
In my experience, I have not been able to relieve tinnitus with any musculoskeletal work, but some reputable resources say yes. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9122774/
Hello, do you beleive that releasing the muscles helps to make the body more receptive to adjustments
Yes, absolutely, and soft tissue work usually makes the adjustment itself.
Doc, I'm curious if you have any thoughts on an issue I've long suffered with and have thought might have been TMD or trigeminal neuralgia but doesn't really seem to fit either quite right. It's a pain that usually starts out feeling like a tooth ache, and sometimes flossing/brushing/rinsing does actually help alleviate it, but I've had a dentist check out the area and there's no current tooth problems there.
Anyway, it's easily ignored at that stage, but then it spreads gradually up past my temples up to the top and front of my head (all on the one side), as well as down my neck and shoulder and upper back, and sometimes (self-)adjusting my upper cervical or cervicothoracic areas can help alleviate it.
Meanwhile my ear and sinuses on that side start to feel congested too, and sometimes blowing my nose, a hot shower, spicy food, or laying down in one position or another, can feel like it helps drain that out and alleviate the pain too.
Toward the end of the process, usually after a long day of this gradually feeling worse, my bowels feel unwell too, and sometimes eating will make me feel nauseous, though throwing up then might make it feel better, or sometimes eating (probably varying by type of food) instead makes me need to poop, and a nice big poop makes me feel better. Even that, though, feels like it might just be biomechanically related to the lower lumbar or sacroiliac area.
When its at it's worst, I'm completely incapacitated by it, and often such times, laying down and stretching and just zoning out from the world and letting my body move how it wants to is the only thing that really helps, feeling like it drains the sinuses, relaxes and repositions the joints in the neck/shoulder/back, and lets my bowels get moving; I'll often get up from that, take a nice big poop, blow my nose, and feel all better, either late at night or the next morning.
This has been happening on and off for decades with varying frequency. At one point it was almost a regular occurrence every week, usually the first weekday, which lead to me nicknaming it "the Mondays" for lack of a better term.
My current best hypothesis is that the cause begins with constipation (which is maybe why it used to be a Monday thing, after a weekend of eating bigger and stranger meals than my normal weekday diet), that then causes inflammation throughout my body, and a chronic upper cervical or TMJ dysfunction then blocks drainage through that one eustachian tube, causing pressure buildup in those sinuses on that one side of my head, and then referred pain down the neck, shoulder, and upper back.
But I'm curious if you've ever heard of something quite like this and maybe know of a name for it.
Oh and FWIW I have observed separate connections between all three of these things in myself: biomechanics, sinus congestion, and digestion.
Sometimes after eating, or if a bad smell turns my stomach or something, I get very congested and end up coughing and clearing my throat a lot; and conversely often times if I fart or poop or just feel my bowels settling internally, suddenly I feel like I can breath so much more freely.
Sometimes I feel sore or achy in various joints, often either around the pelvis or the shoulder girdle, and then I fart or poop or something and then all those joints feel relaxed and lubricated and able to adjust and move easily; or conversely, sometimes I'll adjust my neck or lower back or something and then suddenly feel my bowels settling and maybe need to fart or poop right afterward.
And often if I'm congested and coughing or clearing my throat a lot, my neck and shoulders and upper back especially will start to feel tense and sore, or getting a nice big whiff of clean fresh air feels like it can allow my to relax all of that area and breath normally again; but conversely, sometimes all it takes it a nice neck or upper back crack and it's like my irritated airways reset and relax and all the congestion just flows away.
It's often very hard to tell what's the cause and what's the symptom of these things for such reasons.
Well this is quite a conundrum, and I appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed history. It would be inappropriate for me to offer any specific advice or diagnosis, but based on your description, this would appear to be inflammatory in nature and related to some digestive function or food reactivity, which is unusual but plausible. In unusual cases such as this, all reasonable avenues of potential causation must be explored.
Thanks for replying! Of course I don’t expect a proper diagnosis or advice, more just wondering if there were search terms for some condition(s) besides TMD and trigeminal neuralgia (which each seem similar to but different from this in their own ways) that I might try looking up for further reading of my own.
I just got home from work; AND AS SOMEONE WHO HAS RHUMETOID arthritis, scoliosis, chronic pain and migraines (due to everything being unaligned); THIS IS MAKING ME FEEL SO RELAXED!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK, DILIGENCE AND PATIENCE!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 💯 💯 💯
Is it normal to hear a gravelly sound in the back of the neck when turning your head?
That is the sound of joint surfaces that have lost their smoothness and have also lost some of their looseness and space. The medical term is "crepitus" and it is not harmful, but it is a sign that you could benefit from some work, either bodywork or self-care or both, to restore alignment and improve your upper body posture.
If those muscles are tight and inflamed often can it cause hair loss? My hair has been falling out like crazy since I was diagnosed w tmj
I'm not aware of any studies that show that, however, we do know that chronic muscle tension anywhere in the body can impair local micro circulation and that might have an effect on hair follicles and hair growth.
Get your iron and ferritin tested! You could be iron deficient.
I know everyone watching this video put their finger inside their mouths because i did 😂 amazing video! A lot of interesting info
Where are you from? I definitely have some TNJ issues sadly
Portland Oregon
wish I had a chiro like this in NYC 😢
Well if I ever hit the lottery I'm moving to the Upper West side and I'll see you then!
Would you happen to have any recommendations for anyone on Las Vegas?
I wish I did...one of the consequences of practicing differently is that I am not well connected in the chiro community.
@@DrRussInYourPocket I hear you. Thanks for the quick response 🙂
Oh my. I want this sooooooo much.
I'd like to submit "...Portland" for approval to the lexicon of ASMR videos so it made reside along the classics like "sandwich breath, loose and floppy and putapitofpaper"

As a proponent of being gentle on the neck, what are your thoughts about the so-called “ring-dinger” and y-strap so many of your colleagues on TH-cam use?
It probably won't surprise you to learn that I am not a proponent of that technique! It makes for compelling video, and if done correctly, can induce a great deal of motion. However, it's risky. It's simply impossible to specify the vertebra or the direction of movement. It's impossible to take precautions for areas nearby that might be too inflamed or too degenerative to accept that much force. I would not let anyone do that to me.
Is there someone in NY that practices these techniques? Any suggestions?
I wish I had a suggestion for you. I generally Google " TMJ myofascial release" and see if any providers come up. If I like the feel of the website, then I'll call and ask how often the provider works with TMJ, I will also ask how long sessions tend to be (20 minutes minimum). And for my own sake I ask how often the provider runs late. For me, running on time is a sign of professionalism and courtesy. I wish you the best of luck. If you find someone great in New York, let me know!
@@DrRussInYourPocket thank you very much for the thoughtful reply. I really do enjoy your work.
it feels like he's doing this to me!
I have a question: How does a patient go about asking for treatment like this? I need something like this for my TMJ so badly but don’t know what or who or where to ask! I’m thinking of just sending a link to the video and saying “this please”😂
Hi, I would like to help you find what you need. Look for local chiros or massage therapists or PTs who specialize in myofascial release. Then ask if they do TMJ work, specifically intraoral (inside the mouth) and if this is something they do frequently. I do at least 3-4 of these a week. Best of luck. I'm in Portland OR if you are ever here, come see us.
@@DrRussInYourPocket thank you! I used to live near Portland so it’s a shame I didn’t know this then but I appreciate the reply and help/tips. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
unbelievable
Oh my gosh.
I need this so bad.
Horrible neck and TMJ.
I need an appt asap lol
We're here for you!
@@DrRussInYourPocket oh I wish! NC over here :( is there a list of chiropractors that know how to manipulate TMJ the correct way and do body work like you did?
Incredibly relaxing video but i can’t help but think when you say you’re a doctor are you an MD ? I didn’t think chiropractors needed to be doctors although i honestly don’t know much
