TMJ problems as many know can be very difficult to manage and treat. This is a video of a patient who has been under treatment for a long time and came to my office today for her first 90 minute consult. The process is to identify where the pain is coming from and determine if we can treat it successfully. I utilize many techniques in my office including neuromuscular dentistry, ULF-TENS, SPG Blocks, orthotics, trigger point injections and much more. At this visit we did diagnostic Spray and Stretch following Dr Travell's techniques resulting in relief of her pain. Also utilized was a hydraulic appliance called an Aqualizer to support the relaxed muscles. She will begin treatment at her next visit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYnSq4lAbj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYnSq4lAbj8 YOUTUBE.COM Six months of pain! Relief at First Visit!
