Services / TMD and Migraine Treatment
Many people don’t think about their temporomandibular joint until they are already in pain. The temporomandibular joint is what allows you to chew and talk by connecting your jaw to the temporal bones in your skull.
A problem or discomfort in that joint is known as a temporomandibular disorder. While the causes of TMD can be vary quite a lot, usually it can be treated by utilizing an orthodontic insert or nightguard to re-align the joint correctly.
During the first appointment, we perform a consultation with you to examine your unique situation and advise you on the next steps. From there, we can confirm a TMD diagnosis if necessary and begin the steps to proper treatment.
If you suffer from any of the following conditions, you may suffer from TMD:
- Pain in your face or jaw
- Swelling near the jaw
- Problems opening mouth or chewing
- Clicking or popping noises from jaw
- Migraines or neck / upper shoulder discomfort
