Therapeutic TMJ

Many people know about cosmetic treatments that can reduce or smooth out wrinkles, but there’s much more to the story. In 2010, the FDA approved a specialized injectable therapy for its effectiveness in treating chronic migraines. Often, chronic migraines, tension headaches, and neck pain stem directly from overactive muscles. The same muscles that control the bite are also common culprits in headaches and discomfort caused by compression of the TMJ.

Any condition linked to muscle tension or overuse can benefit from targeted relaxation of those muscles. This treatment works by reducing the muscle’s ability to contract, easing strain and alleviating pain that may have persisted for years. By focusing on the muscle groups responsible for the problem—either directly or indirectly—patients often find significant relief. Regular sessions every 12 weeks provide a consistent approach, and research suggests that over time, the
frequency or intensity of treatment may be reduced.

For those who grind or clench their teeth, this therapy can also help. By reducing the force these muscles can generate, symptoms can be minimized or even eliminated. Call today to schedule a free personalized consultation to see how this treatment could help you.
