TMJ/JAW
facilitate relief.
TMJ Dysfunction, often known as TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), is a condition that impacts the intricate and complex joint connecting your jaw to the skull. This joint, known as the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), plays a crucial role in basic activities like chewing, speaking, and swallowing. When dysfunction arises, it can create a range of difficulties that interfere with these routine functions and result in discomfort, pain or headaches.
Our approach is integrative and personalized to cater to the unique requirements of individuals dealing with TMD. We begin with a thorough evaluation, leading to a customized treatment plan, which may involve muscle relaxation methods, jaw-strengthening exercises, cold laser therapy, manual therapy, acupuncture, massage and guidance on lifestyle adjustments to ease jaw tension. Our goal is to restore function and alleviate pain. We work closely along side dentists and orthodontists to ensure you receive the highest level of care.
