Looking For Pain Relief?

WE HAVE SOLUTIONS

Most headache or facial pain sufferers are on a medical merry-go-round in their quest for pain relief.

Because symptoms of TMD (jaw joint problems) and associated craniofacial pain can disguise itself as so many other conditions, it is often difficult to diagnose. Your “incurable” headache, ear or facial pain could be generated by your jaw joints, bite and associated musculature in spasm. We use a team approach and open communications with physicians and other health care professionals to deliver the most effective treatment options to the patient. The first focus is to address the pain, second to regain full function and third to stabilize the patient.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

It is estimated that 1 in every 3 people suffer from one or more of these TMJ symptoms:

Headaches
Ear pain, congestion or ringing ears
Clicking, popping or grating sound in the jaw joints
Limited jaw opening or locking
Dizziness
Pain when chewing
Facial pain
Neck and/or throat pain
Difficulty in closing the teeth together
Tired jaws
