Physical therapy can help patients avoid surgery, recover from surgery for TMD and help to manage chronic pain associated with TMD.What are Temporomandibular Joint Disorders?TMD strains the joint that connects the skull to the lower jaw, as well as nearby muscles and nerves. TMDs can happen due to injury, arthritis, grinding/clenching, stress or an improper bite.These little joints can cause big problems. Some estimates suggest 10 million Americans have TMD. Over time, TMD can cause facial, neck, head and ear pain. It can also limit how much you move your neck and open your mouth, and make chewing painful.Fortunately, our physical therapists at Luminis Health can help you regain mobility and live free of TMD pain.
