An estimated 10 million people in the US suffer from debilitating symptoms, such as headaches, neck aches, ringing in the ears, and jaw popping, caused by TMJ disorder. With TMJ disorder, the temporomandibular joints (jaw joints), which connect your upper and lower jaw, become misaligned. The jaw muscles get overworked, which causes inflammation of the nerves and results in pain.
After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Neal will recommend treatment to repair the problem and alleviate your discomfort. Non-surgical TMJ therapy may include exercises for your jaw, an oral appliance to correct your bite equilibration (adjusting your bite), or over-the-counter analgesics to reduce inflammation and control soreness.
