TMJ Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a source of pain and discomfort for many individuals. This remarkably complex joint is the point where the skull and the jawbone meet. Some people complain of clicking, popping and locking at the joint. This can sometimes result in headaches, neck pain, earaches, and other forms of facial pain associated with TMJ disorders. We often take conservative approaches to successfully alleviate the TMJ-associated problems you may have.
