Many people try the same TMJ treatment and headache treatments that have fail so many.  This includes internet exercises which are not treating the specific root cause of the problem, instead the general symptoms.  Other common treatments are injections, pills, and painkillers which do nothing but mask the problem and have dangerous side effects.  Some patients were given a TMJ night guard or TMJ retainer by their dentist and think it will reverse their TMJ Dysfunction or Temporomandibular Dysfunction or be a TMJ cure which research tells us is utterly WRONG!  Unfortunately, the riskiest option is undergoing an unnecessary and dangerous TMJ surgery... only to have pain return! 

At no fault to the patients themselves, most just don’t realize that seeing a TMJ specialist AKA TMJ Doctor of Physical Therapy is the safest most effective TMJ treatment available for jaw popping, clicking jaw, jaw pain and headaches, TMJ tinnitus, TMJ neck pain, TMJ arthritis, a TMJ headache or migraines.  Seeing a TMJ physical therapist is a drug free treatment approach providing natural pain relief, can you say Win-Win?!
