What is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorders refer to conditions affecting the temporomandibular joints, which are the hinges that connect the jaw to the skull. These joints allow you to perform vital functions like speaking, chewing, and yawning. When something goes wrong with these joints, it can cause:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Headaches or migraines
Difficulty opening the mouth wide
Pain while chewing or speaking
Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
Neck or shoulder discomfort
Ear fullness or pain
Dizziness
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, TMJ physical therapy may be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Why one-on-one Physical Therapy for TMJ Care?
1. Hands-On Techniques for Immediate Relief
As a skilled clinician with over 10 years of experience treating TMJ dysfunction, Dr. Nourparvar uses a combination of hands-on techniques to alleviate pain and improve jaw function. These methods include myofascial release, joint mobilization, and soft tissue manipulation. These techniques target tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve the alignment of the temporomandibular joint, providing immediate pain relief.
2. Advanced Modalities to Accelerate Healing
In addition to manual therapy, Dr. Nourparvar uses advanced modalities such as dry needling and electrical stimulation to speed up the healing process. These treatments can reduce muscle spasms, promote circulation, and decrease inflammation, helping patients recover faster and more effectively.
3. Progressive Exercise Regimen for Long-Term Relief
TMJ disorders are often recurrent, so a comprehensive approach is necessary to address both immediate symptoms and long-term prevention. Dr. Nourparvar provides patients with a tailored exercise regimen that targets improving jaw mobility, strengthening surrounding muscles, and enhancing overall alignment. Over time, these exercises help individuals manage their TMJ dysfunction independently, ensuring lasting relief and reducing the likelihood of flare-ups.
