TMJ & Chronic Pain

Lasting Relief for Chronic TMJ Pain

Chronic pain can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of your daily life. If you’re experiencing persistent discomfort in your jaw, face, neck, or shoulders, TMJ dysfunction may be the underlying cause. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Pittsburgh, we specialize in identifying and treating chronic pain related to TMJ disorders, helping you regain comfort and improve your quality of life.

How TMJ Disorders Contribute to Chronic Pain

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a crucial role in jaw movement, posture, and overall muscle function. When misaligned or strained, it can lead to:

• Jaw pain and stiffness – Discomfort when chewing, speaking, or opening the mouth.
• Facial and neck pain – Muscle tension and inflammation spreading to surrounding areas.
• Frequent headaches or migraines – Often caused by jaw tension and nerve irritation.
• Ear pain or ringing (tinnitus) – Resulting from TMJ dysfunction affecting the ear canal.
• Shoulder and upper back pain – Poor jaw alignment can create postural imbalances.

These symptoms can persist for months or even years if the root cause isn’t properly addressed.

Our Approach to Chronic Pain Treatment

We take a non-invasive, personalized approach to chronic pain management, addressing the core issues rather than just masking symptoms. Our comprehensive treatment plans may include:

✅ Oral appliances – Custom-made to relieve pressure on the jaw and improve alignment.
✅ Cranial and neuromuscular therapies – To restore balance and reduce muscle tension.
✅ Myofunctional therapy – Strengthening facial and tongue muscles for better jaw function.
✅ Postural correction – Identifying and correcting habits that contribute to pain.
✅ Advanced diagnostics – Evaluating jaw position, muscle activity, and airway function.
