TMJ

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder is a condition that affects the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles, causing pain and discomfort. The TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull, enabling essential movements like chewing, talking, and yawning. When this joint becomes strained or damaged, it can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty in opening and closing the mouth, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and ear pain. Stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, or jaw misalignment are common causes of TMJ disorder.

At Healing Gloves Clinic & Aesthetics, we provide specialized care for TMJ disorders, helping patients regain comfort and proper jaw function. Our treatment options include lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, physical therapy, and oral appliances such as mouthguards to prevent teeth grinding. In severe cases, medications or even surgical intervention may be recommended to relieve pain and restore normal jaw movement.
