Effective Relief from TMJ Pain with Medication and Injections!
Targeted treatments to alleviate discomfort, reduce inflammation, and restore jaw functionality.
What Are Medications and Injections for Jaw Pain: Targeting Relief at the Source?
Medications and injections are often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for TMJ disorders, jaw pain, and associated muscle tension. Pain-relieving medications, such as over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), can help manage discomfort, reduce inflammation, and alleviate muscle spasms.
For more severe cases, muscle relaxants or prescription medications may be recommended. Injections, such as corticosteroids or Botox, can provide targeted relief by reducing inflammation, easing muscle tension, and improving jaw mobility.
