Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
Everyone is Different
There are many symptoms of TMJ disorders that can present themselves in a variety of ways. The abbreviation "TMJ" literally refers to the joint but is often used to mean any disorders or symptoms of the jaw joint region. Many TMJ related symptoms are caused by the effects of physical and emotional stress while others can be caused by trauma to the head, neck or jaw.
Treatment
The doctors of the Center for TMJ Therapy strongly believe in treatment using a multidisciplinary model. Many times the patient will present with symptoms that are clearly a result of a improper function of the Temporomandibular joint, however the cause may be due to poor posture, bad bite, prior injuries distant from the site of where they may be experiencing pain. In these cases working in a multidisciplinary approach betters the outcome of care. This may include Physical Therapists, Chiropractors, Internal Medicine, ENT, Neurologist, Oral Surgeons, Nutritionists, and Certified Massage Therapists..
