TMJ Dysfunction
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to the temporal bones in your skull. This hinge allows you to move your jaw in all directions to chew, speak and yawn.
The symptoms can flare up in any of the interconnected parts including your jaw, ears, nose, face, neck, shoulders and upper back and may include:
-
Jaw, face or neck pain and tenderness
-
Persistent headaches
-
Backaches
-
Clicking, popping or grating sounds in your jaw
-
Decreased jaw mobility and trouble opening your mouth fully
-
Jaws that get locked in an open or closed position
TMJ Treatment
It’s important to receive a proper diagnosis before deciding on a course of action, which is why Dr. Dewbre will conduct a thorough TMJ examination.
Once our team has pinpointed the cause, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your discomfort. We take a conservative multidisciplinary approach and aim to use less invasive treatments.
Options for TMJ pain may include oral appliances combined with physical therapy, trigger point injections or injections with botulinum toxin.
We’ll walk you through your choices at your consultation and help determine which treatment avenue is the best choice for you.
