TMJ Care

Specializing in TMJ (temporomandibular joint) solutions.

TMJ dysfunctions cause pain to roughly 10 million Americans each year. This facial joint can, when injured, have far-reaching effects on your health – from difficulty opening and closing the mouth to trigger points, posture distortion and circulation problems.

Fortunately, non-invasive physical therapy can relieve the pain and symptoms. Our physical therapists have the training, experience, skill and knowledge to treat TMJ disorders. Through the years, we've developed effective treatment methods for every stage of TMJ.

We know that every patient's needs and reactions to treatment are unique. That's why we customize your treatment plan based on your comprehensive health history, physical evaluation and objective findings.

• Your treatment plan may include: Fast-relief modalities for pain, swelling & spasm
• Manual therapy with gentle manipulation, mild exercise & PNF
• Massage therapy, an important component of our TMJ care
• Assistive positioning to keep the TMJ in place
• Posture correction (malalignment in the lower extremities can cause TMJ!)
• Habit modification to eliminate activities that increase stress to the jaw joint
• Diet modification to ease TMJ stress & nutritional supplementation to promote healing & tissue integrity
• Stress management (deep relaxation training or breathing technique)

We provide comprehensive care because we know that the effects of even a tiny malfunctioning body part, like the TMJ, can express itself through the entire body complex.
