TMJ & Headache Treatment

Many people suffer from a condition referred to as TMJ Disorder, which is related to the jaw joints or temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Symptoms of TMJ disorder include pain around the ears and jaw, frequent headaches, clicking or popping noises, chipped or fractured teeth, and muscle tension in the jaws/neck/head/shoulders. If left untreated, TMJ disorder can progress and cause extensive damage. Dr. DeRose has Specialty Training in TMJ management and is considered a TMJ expert by his peers. In most cases, he can treat the disorder with simple therapies that rapidly relieve discomfort.

The temporomandibular joints are highly sensitive to stress and other factors. A misalignment of the bite, slight changes in activity, changes in eating habits, or trauma/injury can throw the TMJ out of alignment. Although the condition is very common, it is often misdiagnosed and not treated effectively, which results in patients feeling frustrated by their inability to gain relief. When you visit us, we'll check your bite (the way your teeth fit together) and your TMJ for signs of misalignment. An orthotic or bite appliance worn at night can help alleviate your pain or your bite can be stabilized to restore it to its natural, harmonious state. Dr. DeRose may also implement other simple treatments that can assist in alleviating symptoms and restoring health. Within weeks of TMJ therapy, most patients notice significant or total improvement.
