Rehabilitation Unit for Temporomandibular Disorder (TMJ)

Problems with the TMJ

The Temporomandibular Joint is responsible for the opening and closing of the mouth, specifically, for closing the lower jaw. It acts like two knees, with an articular cartilage that cushions its movement.

TMJ problems aren't only caused by bruxism, there are other possible factors such as Osteoarthritis, Displacement of the Articular Cartilage, Trauma to the area, etc…

We have diagnostic tools such as CT scans and Ultrasound.

• Manual Therapy.
• Electrotherapy.
• Dry Needling.
• Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections.
• Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP).
