TMJ disorder describes a variety of conditions affecting the Temporomandibular joint (the point where the jaw opens and closes) and nerves related to chronic facial pain. These problems are now more easily diagnosed by Dr. Sadeghi and treated than in the past.

Did you know that more than 40 million people in the US alone suffer from chronic headaches, jaw aches, neck pain, shoulder pain and dental damage from their bite?  Did you know that 95% of all headaches are caused by TMJ disorders?  This tension can be related to stress or an improper harmony of the jaws and muscles.  This tension can cause a constant strain on your head, jaws, face and neck.  Researchers have found that women are 4 times more likely to suffer from this type of pain.

Did you find that you experience frequent headaches/migraines, jaw clicking, popping or grating, limited movement or locking jaw, pain in the sinuses or behind the eyes? Difficulty in eating, ear pain or dizziness?  You might be experiencing TMJ.

A dentist who specializes in the above can determine the proper resting jaw position which affects the facial, head and neck muscles, the teeth and the joints.

In most cases, the symptoms related to TMJ disorders can be successfully treated to reduce or eliminate your discomfort. Postponement of treatment usually results in more damage to the joint or teeth.

Dr. Sadeghi uses the latest neuromuscular therapy techniques to accurately diagnose and effectively treat TMJ Disorder and its symptoms permanently.  Be sure to discuss any questions you may have about TMJ symptoms and treatment plans with Dr. Sadeghi before beginning treatment.
