Diagnosing and Understanding TMJ Issues
Effective TMJ treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific nature of your TMJ disorder. Symptoms of TMJ disorders can vary widely, from jaw pain and headaches to clicking or popping sounds and limited jaw movement. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to assess jaw function and pinpoint the exact source of your discomfort. This detailed understanding allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Tailored Treatment Strategies for Relief
Our treatment plans for TMJ disorders may include a range of therapies depending on the severity and nature of your condition. Options can range from conservative treatments like physical therapy, oral appliances (such as bite guards or splints), and medication for pain and inflammation, to more advanced procedures in severe cases. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore normal jaw function, and prevent further complications associated with TMJ disorders.
Addressing Contributing Factors
We recognize that TMJ disorders can be influenced by various factors, including dental alignment, stress, and lifestyle habits. Our holistic approach to treatment not only focuses on alleviating symptoms but also addresses these contributing factors. We work collaboratively with patients to develop strategies for managing stress, improving posture, and making other lifestyle adjustments that can positively impact TMJ symptoms.
