Relieve Your Pain with a Jaw Pain & TMJ Specialist in NYC

Are you experiencing TMJ problems or jaw pain in NYC? You might have a temporomandibular disorder causing pain in the jaw joint and/or the muscles associated with jaw movements such as chewing and speaking.

Your temporomandibular joints are the two joints on either side of your jaw, connecting your jawbone to your skull.

There are many possible causes for cases of TMJ disorders, from clenching or grinding your teeth (possibly due to sleep apnea) to arthritis to physical injuries. Symptoms of TMJ disorders include headaches, earaches, facial pain, clicking or popping sounds while opening or closing your mouth, stiffness, and more.

Sometimes, TMJ pain only lasts for a short time. When it lasts for longer, however, this can result in further, more severe complications including teeth damage, hearing problems, joint damage, and a restricted range of jaw movement. If you’re experiencing TMJ pain now, it’s better to be safe than sorry and visit a specialist as soon as possible.

Lucky for you, Active Physical Therapy & Chiropractic Group has a team of the best TMJ doctors in NYC with personalized, nonsurgical treatment plans that will relieve and eliminate your pain long term.

Understanding What TMJ Treatment in NYC is Available

There are many ways to treat TMJ disorders; a typical treatment plan will combine several of the most common approaches to alleviate your symptoms—no surgery required.

Treatment options include

Physical therapy, or exercises you can practice to comfortably move your jaw muscles
Chiropractic adjustments or mobilization, manual therapy.
Pain relievers, or over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain or any swelling
Occlusal splints or mouth guards to prevent teeth clenching and grinding
Heat and cold therapy
Stress management techniques
Orthodontic treatment
Dietary changes to avoid foods that may further strain your jaw

Surgery is considered a rare last resort option and only recommended when all other treatment approaches have failed and your TMJ disorder is considered to be very severe.
