TMJ: Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome

TMJ is short for Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome, a condition causing mild to severe jaw pain. TMJ can be caused by a misaligned jaw, by grinding the teeth or stress causing clenching of the jaw. TMJ can be a short term acute problem associated with increased stress or it can be stubborn long term issue. Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for TMJ and most types of Jaw pain, including tooth aches and post dental procedure pain. Locally placed acupuncture needles around the temporomandiibular joint can relieve the tension, pain and inflammation of the jaw associated with TMJ disorders and in many cases completely resolve the pain.

Testimonial

"I went to see Robert for chronic headaches/facial pain that I thought were caused by sinus and allergy problems. I later found out my sinuses were fine and the pain was most likely due to jaw clenching and TMJ. I had been taking way too much OTC pain relievers that didn't always help and wanted a more natural remedy that would actually solve the problem rather than cover it up. As others have said, Robert is very gentle and has an aura of calmness. I had no idea what to expect and to be honest, I still have no idea what Robert actually does (realigns my qi I guess), but I will tell you this: it works. I went from having daily headaches with pain 7-8/10 to having maybe 1 headache a week at a pain level of 3-4. I am continuing to work on my jaw to get it (and me) to relax. The treatment itself is very relaxing and I agree with others who have said that you can feel a sort of hum throughout your body where the needles are placed. Don't be afraid of the needles - they are tiny and pain free. I recommend Robert for anyone who has pain and would like a natural therapy that works. I am lucky that my insurance will cover acupuncture, but even if it didn't, I would pay for it out of pocket. Totally worth it."
