TMJ Therapy
Every year, people in this country spend billions of dollars to ease headache pain. In many cases, headaches, neck pain, and other unpleasant symptoms are caused by TMJ dysfunction. This condition results when the temporomandibular joints, or jaw joints, are out of sync. Your jaw joints control the opening and closing of your mouth. When these joints become fatigued, the related muscles and nerves get overworked, which can cause strain and spasms.
You deserve a pain-free life, so our doctors will evaluate your mouth to determine the cause of your TMJ symptoms and alleviate your discomfort. Non-surgical treatment for TMJ may include the use of an NTI-tss, a special mouthguard that keeps your jaw in the proper position. Other recommendations in addition to a mouthguard may involve sedation techniques to relieve tension, strengthening exercises, moist heat or ice, and anti-inflammatory medications.
