TMJ Pain Relief
The Temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) can be the source of face pain and jaw soreness. Patients who suffer from jaw and face soreness are commonly diagnosed with Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). TMJ pain happens when you experience pain in your jaw joint and the surrounding muscles. TMJ can be just a nuisance, but also has the potential to be a life-changing condition.
The exact cause of TMJ pain is very difficult to always know for certain but is frequently caused by a combination of problems like arthritis, jaw injuries and stress as well. TMJ conditions are experienced as a result of problems with the jaw, jaw joint and surrounding facial muscles that are in charge of chewing and moving of the jaw. For example, people who habitually clench or grind their teeth, commonly develop TMD.
TMJ Symptoms:
- Pain in the jaw (near the joint)
- Tight/sore jaw or neck muscles

Treating TMJ or TMD
Diagnostic Health & Injury’s goal is to offer pain relief by solving the problem. To do this we diagnose your TMJ condition and find the original cause of your pain.
If uncared for then TMJ conditions grow much more severe. The disorder wears away the jaw disc, which can cause joint displacement. The erosion and displacement will inevitably grow into a degenerative tissue disorder like arthritis. It is vital to treat TMJ as early as possible to avoid a more severe chronic pain condition.
