Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) encompass a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the muscles responsible for jaw movement, and associated structures. These disorders can lead to pain, restricted jaw function, and discomfort in the facial region.
The causes of TMD are multifactorial, involving a combination of biological, environmental, social, emotional, and cognitive factors. Common contributors include:
Understanding the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.
Our clinic offers a comprehensive approach to managing TMD, tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Treatment options include:
Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections can alleviate muscle tension and pain associated with TMD. By targeting overactive jaw muscles, Botox helps reduce clenching and grinding, providing relief from discomfort.
We utilize advanced laser technology to treat TMD symptoms. Laser therapy can reduce inflammation, promote tissue healing, and alleviate pain, offering a non-invasive treatment option for TMD patients.
PBMT employs specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity, enhancing tissue repair and reducing pain. This therapy has shown effectiveness in managing TMD symptoms by improving muscle function and decreasing discomfort. 
Customized exercises and manual therapy techniques can improve jaw mobility, strengthen muscles, and reduce pain. Our physical therapists work closely with patients to develop individualized treatment plans.
Also known as bite guards, these devices are designed to reduce teeth grinding and clenching, alleviating pressure on the TMJ and associated muscles.
Since stress can exacerbate TMD symptoms, we offer guidance on relaxation techniques and stress-reduction strategies to help manage contributing factors.
At our clinic, we prioritize a patient-centered approach, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s specific condition and needs. Our multidisciplinary team collaborates to provide comprehensive care aimed at relieving pain and restoring function.
