TM Joint Therapy
Identifying and correcting TM joint pain at its source
Temporomandibular (TM) joints, or the joints that connect your jawbone to the skull, can become irritated for many reasons. Grinding teeth, arthritis, dislocation, previous trauma, improper jaw alignment, and even undo stress can lead to inflammation and severe pain emanating from the area. Although rare, occlusal disease can also affect teeth and specifically the TM joint, and can only be diagnosed by a trained professional. While there are over-the-counter products available to treat TM joint pain, without a proper assessment and diagnosis those appliances can make things worse. Your TM joint will be examined, a formal diagnosis will be made, and together we will develop an action plan to properly treat the problem. Stop living in pain - call us today!
