TMJ Treatment
TMJ
Pain in the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and related facial area can be a very uncomfortable experience. The masticatory system is a complex unit designed to carry out the functions of chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Discomfort can be debilitating and lead to loss of these vital functions.
Symptoms can include:
Muscle tenderness
Headaches
Joint noises such as clicking, popping, or grating
Limited jaw motion and function
Bite changes, mobility, and wear on teeth
The good news is that most of these TMJ symptoms can be effectively treated in a conservative non invasive, cost effective manner over a period of time. The key to effective treatment lies in determining the cause. A thorough exam to determine a diagnosis of origin will guide treatment recommendations.
