TMJ Therapy at Sol Physical Therapy: Relieve Jaw Pain and Restore Function
Specialized Care for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Sol Physical Therapy offers expert TMJ therapy to help individuals suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Our dedicated team of therapists provides personalized care to alleviate pain, improve jaw function, and enhance the quality of life for those affected by TMJ issues.
What is TMJ Therapy?
TMJ therapy focuses on treating disorders of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. These disorders can cause pain, dysfunction, and discomfort in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. Our therapists use a combination of manual techniques, exercises, and education to address these symptoms and restore normal jaw function.
Conditions We Treat
- Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD): Addressing pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
- Jaw Pain and Locking: Alleviating discomfort and resolving issues with jaw movement, including locking or clicking.
- Bruxism: Managing symptoms related to teeth grinding or clenching, often associated with TMJ disorders.
- Facial Pain: Reducing pain in the face, head, and neck related to TMJ dysfunction.
- Headaches and Migraines: Treating headaches and migraines that stem from TMJ issues.
Our Approach
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with a detailed assessment of the jaw, neck, and related structures to determine the cause and extent of TMJ dysfunction.
- Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the evaluation, we develop an individualized therapy plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs and goals.
- Manual Therapy: Our therapists use hands-on techniques to reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pain in the jaw and surrounding areas.
- Therapeutic Exercises: We prescribe exercises to strengthen the jaw muscles, improve range of motion, and promote proper alignment and function.
- Pain Management: We employ various modalities, such as heat and cold therapy, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, to manage pain and inflammation.
- Patient Education: We provide education on self-care techniques, including proper posture, relaxation exercises, and strategies to avoid habits that may exacerbate TMJ symptoms.
