Diagnostics
A structured, multidimensional evaluation across joint, muscle, nerve and airway systems — because you can't treat what you haven't properly diagnosed.
Our Diagnostic Assessments
Each assessment is selected based on your presenting symptoms — forming a complete diagnostic picture.
Joint, muscle and bite assessment for jaw dysfunction — including joint palpation, range-of-motion measurement, loading tests and imaging review. We assess for disc displacement, joint degeneration and inflammatory involvement with precise clinical criteria.
Systematic mapping of trigger points and referral patterns across the masseter, temporalis, pterygoid, sternocleidomastoid and cervical muscles. Each trigger point is assessed for its contribution to pain, headache and ear symptoms.
Differential diagnosis of complex facial pain using the DC/TMD and IASP criteria — distinguishing between musculoskeletal, neuropathic, vascular and centrally mediated pain. This precision avoids treatment of the wrong mechanism.
Cone beam computed tomography provides 3D imaging of the TMJ condyles, joint space, bone quality and airway dimensions — revealing pathology invisible on conventional radiographs. Essential for complex TMJ cases and airway assessment.
Validated screening questionnaires (Epworth, STOP-BANG, PSQI) alongside clinical examination, tongue posture assessment and CBCT airway volumetric analysis to quantify OSA risk and airway obstruction.
Dynamic analysis of jaw movement patterns, interincisal opening range, lateral and protrusive excursions, joint sounds under load and the relationship between jaw posture and body posture — guiding targeted rehabilitation.
"We don't just treat symptoms — we identify the root cause."
Every treatment plan at Divine Care is built on comprehensive diagnosis, not assumption.Your Evaluation Journey
We start by listening — a detailed review of your symptoms, their onset, progression, what makes them better or worse, and any previous treatments. This context shapes everything that follows.
Systematic examination of the jaw joints, masticatory muscles, cervical spine, lymph nodes and oral cavity. We assess range of motion, joint sounds, muscle tenderness and neurological signs.
Review of any existing radiographs and ordering of additional imaging — including CBCT where indicated for 3D joint and airway assessment.
We explain our findings clearly — what is causing your symptoms, what structures are involved and why previous treatments may not have worked.
A tailored, phased treatment plan designed around your diagnosis, lifestyle and goals — with clear expected outcomes and timelines.
