A Better Quality of Life is Possible…
A whole picture approach to managing, treating and eliminating your jaw pain.
Treatment for TMD focuses on alleviating pain and restoring normal jaw function, often through a combination of therapies. At Moore Myoworx, we focus on the impairment of the nerve powering the muscles of the mouth which is typically the cause of TMD and other clustered symptoms. If this root cause is addressed, symptoms can improve rapidly and function can be restored with guidance from a trained clinician.
Improving quality of life for individuals with TMD involves both treatment and preventative strategies. Lifestyle modifications, such as practicing good posture, avoiding excessive chewing, and employing relaxation techniques, can help manage and reduce symptoms.
