Treatments

Personalized, non-surgical protocols built around you.

Each plan combines functional therapy, advanced modalities and behavioral support — designed for long-term relief, not temporary fixes. Every treatment is evidence-based and tailored to your specific diagnosis.

Our Treatment Protocols

Evidence-based, non-surgical treatments.

Every protocol is selected based on your specific diagnosis — combining therapies for the best possible outcome.

01

Splint Therapy

Occlusal splint & mandibular repositioning

Benefits

Reduces joint load, decompresses the TMJ, protects teeth from bruxism forces, relieves muscle tension and pain.

Who it helps

TMJ pain, disc displacement, bruxism, clenching, morning headaches, tooth grinding.

How it works

A custom-fit intraoral device repositions the mandible to reduce joint loading and relax overactive jaw muscles.

02

TMJ Rehabilitation

Functional jaw rehabilitation program

Benefits

Restores joint function, improves mouth opening, reduces pain and restores muscular balance.

Who it helps

Limited mouth opening, post-injury TMJ, disc displacement, jaw stiffness.

How it works

Progressive stretching, strengthening and coordination exercises restore full range of motion and joint stability.

03

TENS Therapy

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation

Benefits

Relaxes hyperactive jaw muscles, reduces pain signals and establishes a physiological jaw rest position.

Who it helps

Myofascial pain, chronic muscle tension, jaw clenching, difficulty relaxing the jaw.

How it works

Low-frequency electrical stimulation induces sustained muscle relaxation — particularly useful before splint fabrication.

04

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Manual therapy for jaw and neck muscles

Benefits

Releases active trigger points, breaks down adhesions, restores muscle length and reduces referred pain.

Who it helps

Chronic facial pain, neck pain, tinnitus driven by trigger points, restricted jaw movement.

How it works

Targeted manual pressure to trigger points in masseter, temporalis, pterygoids and cervical muscles disrupts the pain cycle.

05

Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT)

Benefits

Reduces joint and muscle inflammation, accelerates tissue repair and provides analgesic effects without medication.

Who it helps

Acute TMJ flare-ups, myofascial pain, post-procedure recovery, inflammatory joint conditions.

How it works

Photobiomodulation increases cellular energy production in damaged tissues — reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

06

Trigger Point Therapy

Manual deactivation of myofascial trigger points

Benefits

Deactivates pain referral patterns, relieves muscle knots and restores normal muscle function.

Who it helps

Headaches, tinnitus, ear pain, facial pain, jaw and neck referred pain.

How it works

Sustained pressure and specific manual techniques deactivate hypersensitive trigger point bands.

07

Trigger Point Injections

Targeted injections for persistent trigger points

Benefits

Immediate deactivation of treatment-resistant trigger points with rapid pain relief.

Who it helps

Chronic myofascial pain, refractory facial pain, trigger points unresponsive to manual therapy alone.

How it works

Precise injection into the trigger point band disrupts the pain-spasm-pain cycle and provides sustained relief.

08

Home Care Programs

Structured self-management protocols

Benefits

Sustains and extends in-clinic progress, empowers patients to manage flare-ups and prevents recurrence.

Who it helps

All TMJ and orofacial pain patients — a core component of every treatment plan.

How it works

Tailored exercise sequences, heat/cold protocols, dietary and behavioral guidelines specific to your diagnosis.

09

Sleep Appliance Therapy

Custom mandibular advancement devices

Benefits

Repositions the mandible to open the airway, reducing snoring and sleep apnea events significantly.

Who it helps

Mild-to-moderate OSA, snoring, CPAP intolerance, sleep bruxism.

How it works

A custom device advances the lower jaw during sleep, preventing airway collapse and improving oxygen saturation.

10

Myofunctional Therapy

Oral and facial muscle retraining

Benefits

Retrains tongue posture, nasal breathing and swallowing patterns — with lasting benefits for pain, sleep and airway.

Who it helps

Airway disorders, sleep apnea, mouth breathing, children and adults with tongue posture issues.

How it works

A structured program of targeted exercises progressively normalizes orofacial muscle function and breathing patterns.

11

Nutritional Guidance

Anti-inflammatory dietary support

Benefits

Reduces systemic inflammation that amplifies pain, supports tissue healing and improves sleep quality.

Who it helps

Chronic pain patients, sleep disorder management, inflammatory TMJ conditions.

How it works

Personalized dietary guidance targeting inflammatory markers — practical, evidence-based nutrition for pain reduction.

12

CBT-Based Support

Cognitive behavioral pain and sleep therapy

Benefits

Addresses pain catastrophizing, sleep anxiety and behavioral drivers of chronic pain and bruxism.

Who it helps

Chronic pain, insomnia, bruxism, stress-related jaw clenching.

How it works

Structured cognitive and behavioral techniques that reshape pain perception, sleep habits and stress responses.
