FINDING RELIEF FROM TMJ / JAW PAIN

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) refers to a range of conditions impacting the temporomandibular joint or joints (TMJ), crucial for jaw movement. Positioned in front of the ear canals, these joints comprise muscles, ligaments, cartilage, discs, and elastic tissue. Dysfunction in any of these components can lead to discomfort and pain linked with TMD.

TYPES OF TMD

Temporomandibular disorders can manifest diversely, affecting muscles (myogenous), joints (arthrogenous), or a combination of both. Physiotherapists are uniquely skilled to address TMD-related issues, specialising in the management of muscle and joint problems. It's important to note that many individuals diagnosed with TMD also experience concurrent neck pain, making physiotherapy an optimal choice for comprehensive care.

SIMPLIFYING TMD MANAGEMENTs

Although TMD may seem complex initially, it can be effectively managed with the right approach and treatment. Here’s what you can expect from our expert physiotherapist Kanwarjot:

Comprehensive Education: We ensure you understand your condition thoroughly.

Conservative and Affordable Treatment: Our focus is on reversible, cost-effective treatments with achievable recovery goals.

Concise and Accurate Assessment: Our assessments swiftly pinpoint the sources of your discomfort.

Following assessment, your physiotherapist will categorise your condition, which may include:

  • Inflammatory conditions
  • Limited or excessive jaw range of motion
  • Arthrogenous disc displacement
  • Jaw muscle pain
  • Neck pain contributing to associated headaches (sometimes mistaken for TMD)

Once the underlying issues are identified, your therapist will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
