Temperomandibular Joint TMJ Pain

Learn how to reduce pain and resume an active life.

There are many causes and symptoms related with TMJ dysfunction.  The bottom line is that TMJ dysfunction can be painful and extremely limiting on your life.  Often times headaches are increasingly common and your enjoyment in participation is social situations and even eating can be extremely limited.  Often times people will seek extensive treatment through dental appliances when a simple exercise program, postural education and manual (hands on) therapy would have been equally, if not more successful, especially in the long term.

At BreakThrough, your therapist will obtain a thorough history so they understand your past, present and future goals and then conduct an extensive manual exam to identify the areas of weakness, inflexibility (hypomobility) or hypermobility.  We will then work with you to improve your body mechanics in various situations, develop strength and of course use extensive hands on care to relieve pain, soften muscle tissue and retrain all associated tissues to operate more efficiently in the future.

If you are not sure what to do about your TMJ symptoms, but want an easy, cost and time effective way to help ensure you take the right steps towards your future, guided by an expert; check out our Telehealth and Virtual Health Consultation (VHC) Services

What’s the Buzz?

My daughter developed a stress fracture due to over-training and lack of proper guidance. She had to sit out her sophomore season and we were afraid her running career would be over. Her self-confidence was way down and we had serious concerns, but thanks to BreakThrough she is “back on track” and continuously improving her times as well as enjoyment for cross country. Thank you!

My shin splints were killing me and I had to pull out of my last race. Thanks to Prina helped me avoid needing a boot and really being on the sidelines. I am now increasing my mileage and am so excited to have the support of your Sports Performance Program!

I PR’ed this weekend and I cannot thank Irina enough for all the hard work and dedication she put in to help me accomplish my goal!!
