Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder Therapy

TMJ Therapy: Alleviating Jaw Pain and Discomfort

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can cause significant discomfort and impact your daily life. Our clinic specializes in TMJ therapy, offering effective treatments to alleviate pain and improve jaw function. We understand the complexities of TMJ disorders and are dedicated to providing personalized care to address your specific needs.

Understanding TMJ Disorders

TMJ disorders affect the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, leading to symptoms such as:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Difficulty in chewing
  • Clicking or locking of the jaw joint
  • Headaches and ear pain

Our TMJ Therapy Approach

Our treatment approach focuses on diagnosing the specific cause of your TMJ disorder to provide the most effective therapy. Treatment options may include:

  • Oral Appliances: Custom-made mouthguards can help relieve pressure on the joint and realign the jaw.
  • Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen jaw muscles and improve mobility.
  • Medication: Anti-inflammatories or muscle relaxants to reduce pain and inflammation.
  • Stress Management: Techniques to reduce habits that can exacerbate TMJ symptoms, such as teeth grinding.
Personalized Care for TMJ Relief

Every patient’s experience with TMJ disorder is unique. We take the time to understand your symptoms and lifestyle, tailoring a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
