Your questions about TMJ and acupuncture answered

We understand you may have questions about TMJ disorder and how acupuncture can help. Our goal is to provide clear, helpful information so you can make informed decisions about your health and well-being. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding TMJ and our approach to treatment.

In simple terms, what exactly is TMJ disorder and how does it usually make people feel?
TMJ disorder refers to problems with the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull, and the muscles and ligaments around it. Symptoms can include pain or tenderness in your jaw, face, neck, and shoulders, headaches, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth, and even locked jaw.

How does acupuncture specifically help people who are suffering from TMJ pain or discomfort?
Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body, which can help to reduce inflammation, relieve muscle tension in the jaw and surrounding areas, and improve blood flow. This natural approach helps to alleviate pain, restore proper jaw function, and promote overall healing without medication.

If someone comes to your clinic for TMJ treatment, what can they expect during their visit and how long might it take to feel better?
During your visit, we will conduct a thorough assessment to understand your specific condition. Treatment typically involves the insertion of fine needles into targeted acupuncture points. Most patients experience a sense of deep relaxation during the session. The number of sessions and time it takes to feel better varies depending on the severity and duration of your TMJ disorder, but many patients report significant relief after just a few treatments.
