TMJ Treatment:
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome is
a cycle of pain, muscle spasms
and joint imbalance where the jaw meets the skull. The initials "TMJ"
stand
for the names of the bones that come together at the joint where the lower
jaw meets the skull. This joint connects the temporal bone of the skull
with the mandible bone of the jaw. Cushioning these two bones is a thin
disc of cartilage. Five muscles support the joint. |
|
When the balance of these
bones, cartilage and muscles is lost, the result can be:
 | headaches |
| earaches |
| difficulty in opening or closing |
| a clicking or popping in the joint |
| dull, aching pain around the ear that spreads to the face |
| sore or painful jaw muscles |
We will evaluate the possible causes of your TMJ Syndrome and
recommend a treatment plan. Millions of people suffer from TMJ
Syndrome. Treatment and lifestyle changes can break the cycle of
pain, spasms and joint imbalance and restore the harmony of the joint.
