Temporomandibular Joint Pain Therapy in Calgary

We mostly think about teeth’ function, health, and appearance when it comes to oral health. Nonetheless, optimal oral health also includes the correct alignment of our jaw joints, commonly known as temporomandibular joints. These joints play a crucial role in our jaw’s movement. 

Even the minor misalignment can lead to symptoms like clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when you open and close your mouth. If you are going through any such pain or discomfort or noises in the jaw while biting or chewing, then our TMJ specialist in Calgary is the suitable option for getting rid of your jaw pain. 

Temporomandibular joint pain is caused by multiple factors such as arthritis, genetics, congenital bone deformations, jaw trauma and others. Recurring actions like excessive gum chewing and teeth grinding can also aggravate the pain. At our clinic in Calgary, we treat patients with TMJ based on the cause and intensity of the problem. 

Some of the common issues that our TMJ specialists encounter among the patients are not related to periodontal disease or tooth decay but difficulty in chewing and biting, locking the jaw, and painful sensations while moving the jaws. 

The diagnosis process of TMJ disorder can vary from patient to patient as it involves various steps. Our team of expert TMJ specialists in Calgary will go through a series of steps to understand your problem’s root cause and offer the best possible treatment with long-term success. 

We at the Vista Physiotherapy and Massage in Calgary provide the best TMJ treatment in the town. If you are suffering from TMJ, then visit our clinic at the earliest. Our TMJ specialists will first ask you few questions related to your dietary behaviours. Your diagnosis might require pictures of your joints with the help of CBCT, panoramic x-ray, isolated joint x-ray MRI etc. This would give vital information about your pain to our TMJ specialists. 

Our team of TMJ specialists in Calgary offers personalized treatment for your TMJ disorder as well. Although, treatment of TMJ involves various methods and techniques. In some cases, it only requires a simple prevention remedy to alleviate the pain. While in other cases like tooth grinding, it requires mechanical methods such as custom-fitted appliances to use while sleeping can help in easing the pain. Our TMJ specialists also use surgical intervention in degenerative conditions like arthritis and bone deformation to make the patient feel better. 

No matter what you are going through, any problem first requires treatment. And it starts with a diagnosis. So, what are you waiting for? Book an appointment at Vista Physiotherapy and Massage in Calgary to relieve yourself from orofacial conditions like TMJ.
