Palliative Therapy for TMJ Syndrome
Depending on the type and severity of each patient's symptoms, there are many possible ways in which our staff can provide relief from the pain associated with TMJ dysfunction. We start by carefully diagnosing the underlying cause or causes of the pain. This allows us to determine the most beneficial course of treatment for TMJ relief. If phase-one TMJ treatment is deemed appropriate, medications, nutritional supplements, proliferation therapy (Prolo), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), iontophoresis, and/or physical therapy may be used to assist with pain management. Palliative care is designed to address the symptoms of TMJ disorder rather than its root cause. This is necessary when TMJ disorder is accompanied by extreme pain; palliative care can provide relief while more long-term treatment options are explored.
