Temporo Mandibular Disorders (TMD) / TMJ Dysfunction
Find a location for TMJ Dysfunction
We offer a progressive approach to the management of TMD. Our individualized programs serve as either the primary or corresponding treatment to splint therapy, medications, and surgery for TMD.
Conservative Treatment
In most cases, TMD is successfully treated using non-intrusive, conservative measures including physical therapy.
Our program emphasizes patient education and self-management for long-term improvement. The treatment provides:
- 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
- Instructing the patient on proper resting positions of the head, neck and jaw
Coordination with the Patient's Physician or Dentist
A referral from the patient's physician or dentist is required for physical therapy. If you are not under the care of a physician or dentist, we would be happy to refer you to one who could evaluate your condition and determine the need for treatment.
