Overview. 1  A slipped disc in your jaw can cause painful temporomandibular joint (TMJ)-related problems, including a âpoppingâ noise that originates inside the jaw joint. 2  Friction is a massage exercise. 3  The jaw stretching exercise may relieve tension in tight jaw muscles forced out of position.
Anyways, the pain would come and go (especially when I had sores on one side on my mouth) and I thought there was nothing I could do but wait it out. Until it hit me: pop my jaw! Heres a short explanation of how to do it: -let your jaw just drop. Get it relaxed. You should be able to wiggle it freely side to side (with your hands) without your jaw muscles resisting. -then put your palms against the side of your jaw (around your side burns) and forcefully wiggle your jaw side to side.
