What is TMJ?
- TMJ therapy refers to treatments for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ disorders or TMD). The temporomandibular joint is the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull, and disorders in this area can cause pain, clicking, and difficulty opening and closing the jaw.
What Therapies can be Used to Treat TMJ?
- Medications: Pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce discomfort and inflammation.
- Physical Therapy: Exercises and techniques to improve jaw movement and relieve muscle tension.
- Heat or Cold Therapy: Applying heat or cold packs to reduce pain and swelling.
- Splints or Night Guards: Custom-made devices to prevent teeth grinding or clenching and alleviate pressure on the jaw.
- Stress Management: Techniques such as relaxation exercises to help manage stress, which can contribute to jaw clenching.
- Dental Treatments: Adjustments or treatments for bite issues that may be contributing to TMJ problems.
- Surgery: In severe cases, surgical interventions may be considered, though this is usually a last resort.
