Soft Tissue Therapy: We start our TMJ treatment with soft tissue therapy of the Jaw. For the treatment, we begin by correcting the muscle imbalances. It feels a lot like a deep massage on steroids. Some patients say that it’s uncomfortable because there is so much built up tension in the muscles.
Celina TMJ and Jaw Pain
Why you are having jaw pain and how to fix your TMJ
Learn more about the anatomy of the jaw and the TMJ joint and why it is hurting you. Our Celina chiropractor Dr. Dillan has had a huge increase in TMJ patients since the Covid-19 pandemic, possibly due to stress, possibly due to masks, possibly due to upper neck issues. If this sounds like you, get in and get treated before it gets any worse.
Jaw pain is more common in Celina than you think. Our chiropractor, Dr. Dillan treats hundreds of TMJ patients in Celina every year. He has had great success with both preventative and post-surgical treatment. TMJ treatment, although often painful, can show great results after just one treatment.
5 Steps to Fixing Your TMJ and Jaw Pain
-
-
Laser Therapy of the Jaw: Laser is a therapeutic red and violet light that’s placed onto the damaged areas. For jaw treatment we apply the laser as well as doing acupuncture. Dr. Dillan usually uses the laser treatment on the side that is the most painful or has the most tension.
-
Acupuncture on the Jaw: After the laser, Dr. Dillan will use specific acupuncture points to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow and decrease pain. He will use a combination of acupuncture protocols to achieve the best results.
-
Manual Neck Adjustments for TMJ: Once Dr. Dillan finishes working on your jaw, he turns his focus to your cervical spine. 99% of all TMJ patients have a cervical spine component. Usually, the upper neck muscles get overly tight and the joints of the patients upper neck get stuck. If needed Dr. Dillan will adjust the patient’s neck and perform some Trigger Point therapy or ART on their neck muscles.
-
Neck and Jaw Exercises: Most patients will get some neck exercises and jaw exercises to do at home. They will be prescribed at a specific rate and frequency to get relief as soon as possible.
