TREATMENT FOR TMJ DISORDER IN RICHLAND

After receiving your diagnosis, a specific individualized treatment solution will be given to you in detail. Our non-surgical treatment solutions focus on setting up the body for optimal healing and restoring function in the absence of pain. We utilize a wide range of treatment solutions depending on your individual diagnosis. These may include:

• Non-surgical rehabilitation
• Decompression appliance therapy (short term wear of custom orthopedic oral orthotics – not splints)
• Nutritional counseling
• Physical therapy treatment (cold laser therapy, trigger point therapy, and prolotherapy)
• Multi-discipline referral coordination

When cases of TMJD are severe and persistent, there may be no cure for the condition. Instead, ongoing management of symptoms is required. In these cases, understanding and reducing the impact of contributing factors combined with targeted therapies, like low-level laser therapy, can significantly improve the quality of life for those who suffer.
