TMJ also known as Temporomandibular Joint pain can be a debilitating condition when a person tries to chew. TMJ is usually caused by teeth grinding, stress, jaw anatomy misalignment, and chewing.

What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ also known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder occurs when there is excessive irritation in the jaw that leads to pain upon jaw movement. TMJ can be classified under these 3 categories
  1. Arthritic Pain within the joint itself leading to bone on bone grinding with an inflammatory cascade ensuing. 
  2. A dislocated jaw can lead to excessive irritation to the joint and cause TMJ symptoms. 
  3. Muscle pain in the masseter muscle can lead to TMJ as it is the muscle controlling jaw function. 

What are symptoms of TMJ?

  • Jaw Pain
  • Difficulty Chewing
  • Headaches
  • Jaw Clicking

Do I Have TMJ Disorder?

TMJ can be characterized as a severe sharp pain upon chewing on one or both sides of the jaw. TMJ is diagnosed when there is a palpable click over the area of the TMJ joint when a patient opens their mouth. This can lead to debilitating pain where a person can not even open their mouth or chew without excruciating disability.
Contact a medical professional if you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms:

What Is The Treatment For TMJ?

Regenerative medicine offers an alternative approach for patients experiencing TMJ pain and discomfort. At Regenerative Medicine LA, our treatments focus on reducing inflammation, relieving joint discomfort, and supporting the body’s natural healing processes.

 

Traditional options such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and Botox may provide temporary relief but can have limitations or potential side effects with repeated or long-term use. Our regenerative approach focuses on addressing joint inflammation and sensitivity, with the goal of improving comfort and jaw function.
