TMJ/TMD Management

Dysfunction of the Temporomandibular joint can be painful and debilitating. Managing the TMJ requires a multifocal approach including manual therapy, postural and core muscle training, activity modifications, and bite and dental management,

Our clinicians have extensive experience with the treatment of TMJ/TMD and are trained in manual therapy including mandibular mobilization and soft tissue techniques to restore range of motion and reduce pain. Our clinicians utilize myofascial release techniques to reduce guarding and spasm of the jaw musculature, focusing on the pterygoids, masseter, and temporalis, as well as the related structures of the orofacial and upper cervical regions.  An equilibrium clinician will take you through a thorough examination to evaluate and treat the root causes of the dysfunction, not just the acute symptoms.

We also have relationships with many dental practices to provide comprehensive and collaborative treatment for your symptoms, including fabrication of oral appliances as appropriate.
