Facial Pain and TMJ Disorders

Facial pain & TMJ

There are many people suffering with chronic facial pain and/or TMJ (jaw) related pain, often unabated by medical therapy. Serious disorders and diseases need to be excluded by the appropriate medical specialist, however there is often no identifiable cause even after a thorough physical exam and radiographic imaging (i.e. X-rays, MRI).

Therapy

For patients that have exhausted all other options, there may be an effective therapy. In certain cases, the problem may be localized to one or more nerves in the head and neck region that may be functioning abnormally. We are able to offer diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these conditions – including surgical therapy – that may reduce or alleviate your pain syndrome.
