TMJ (Temporomandibular joint) treatment is a type of therapy that focuses on reducing pain and discomfort associated with the temporomandibular joint. This joint connects the jawbone to the skull and is responsible for the movement of the jaw.
TMJ disorders can cause various symptoms, including pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders, headaches, ringing in the ears, and difficulties with biting and chewing. TMJ treatment can involve a combination of manual therapies, such as massage and joint mobilization, as well as exercises to improve joint function and reduce muscle tension.
In some cases, TMJ treatment may involve orthotics or splints to help position the jaw correctly and alleviate symptoms. TMJ treatment aims to reduce pain and discomfort, improve joint function, and restore balance to the temporomandibular joint.
