TMJ Dysfunction

We offer a progressive approach to the management of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (Often referred to as TMD or TMJ). TMD/TMJ is a disorder that occurs when the temporomandibular joint in your jaw becomes misaligned.

Our individualized programs serve as either the primary or corresponding treatment to splint therapy, medications, and surgery for TMD/TMJ. In most cases, TMD/TMJ is successfully treated using non-intrusive, conservative measures including physical therapy.

Our program emphasizes patient education and self-management for long-term improvement. Treatment includes balancing and relaxing the neck and jaw muscles using heat, muscle stimulation, ultrasound and massage; maximizing function with mobilization/manipulation and exercise; decreasing pain with modalities and instructing patients on proper resting positions of the head, neck and jaw.
