What is TMJ Disorder Treatment: Relieving Jaw Pain and Restoring Function
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder refers to a range of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing pain, stiffness, and difficulty in moving the jaw. Symptoms of TMJ disorder include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and discomfort when chewing.
Treatment for TMJ disorders can range from non-invasive options, such as physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle adjustments, to more advanced procedures like mouthguards, bite therapy, and in some cases, surgery. The goal of TMJ disorder treatment is to relieve pain, improve jaw function, and restore the ability to perform daily activities without discomfort.
