TMJ

TMJ Treatment at Advanced Physical Medicine

The joint that attaches from the jaw to your skull is known as the temporomandibular joint. If this joint becomes damaged or injured for whatever reason, it can lead to a condition called temporomandibular joint syndrome or TMJ. This issue can cause immense pain and needs to be treated as soon as possible to regain the function of the jaw. Should you sustain an injury to the jaw that led to TMJ, make an appointment with our doctors of chiropractic at Advanced Physical Medicine in Yorkville today for TMJ treatment.

What TMJ Does To You

The main symptom of TMJ is jaw pain. This pain can transpire in one or both temporomandibular joints and can feel like a toothache. Although the pain is linked to the joints, it can also radiate to the ears. Other symptoms of TMJ include:

  • Headaches or migraines
  • Blurry vision
  • Facial pain, numbness, or tingling
  • Difficulty biting, chewing, or speaking
  • A sharp, clicking sound when opening or closing the mouth
  • Jaw pain or jaw locking in place
  • Dizziness in some patients

These symptoms could be the result of something other than temporomandibular joint syndrome. That is why you should seek a proper diagnosis from a medical professional, like the doctors at our clinic in Yorkville, to eliminate all other possible causes.

TMJ Treatment from Our Clinic

There are invasive treatments for TMJ that can correct the problem if it is severe, but this solution can be a long road to recovery and includes many risks. A different option that not many people think of when it comes to TMJ is chiropractic care. Chiropractic care is a natural approach that can ease the pain caused by TMJ and help you recover faster than if you choose to have surgery.

A couple of possible techniques that our doctors of chiropractic may recommend implementing are as follows:

  • Joint manipulations
  • Massage therapy
  • Physical therapy

These TMJ treatment methods help you regain control of your joint function, remedy your pain, and improve the muscles of the jaw.
