What is personalized physical therapy?
Personalized physical therapy means that each patient receives a treatment plan tailored specifically to their needs. Even patients with the same diagnosis will likely have unique medical histories, prominent symptoms, and movement goals. That’s why we start with an in-clinic assessment to determine each patient’s individual needs and develop a care plan with progressive milestones that is best suited to them.
To ensure that our patients get the most out of their therapy sessions, we pair each patient one-on-one with a physical therapist. This allows for real-time adjustments during sessions, so if a certain treatment is working well for the patient, we can focus on that and make the most of our time together. We also encourage open communication between patients and therapists, creating a safe space for feedback and discussion. We understand that rehabilitation is not always a straightforward journey and can look different for everyone, which is why we believe it’s essential for patients to feel in control of their care and comfortable asking questions.
Treatments for TMJ pain
Jaw pain and headaches can be incredibly disruptive to your daily life. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available to help you find relief. One of the most common causes of jaw pain and headaches is temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). Here are some ways that TMJ treatment can help you find relief:
- Identifying the root cause: TMJ treatment starts with a thorough evaluation to identify the root cause of your jaw pain and headaches. This can involve assessing your jaw and bite, as well as examining the muscles and ligaments in your face and neck. Once the cause is identified, a customized treatment plan can be developed to address your specific needs.
- Reducing Inflammation and Pain: TMJ treatment can help to reduce inflammation and pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. This can involve a variety of techniques, such as hot and cold therapy, massage, and stretching exercises.
- Restoring function: TMJ treatment can also help to restore function to your jaw, allowing you to open and close your mouth more easily and without pain. This can be achieved through techniques such as oral appliances, which are designed to support the jaw and reduce stress on the joint.
- Relieving headaches: Many people with TMJ experience headaches as a result of the condition. TMJ treatment can help to alleviate these headaches by addressing the underlying cause of the pain and reducing tension in the muscles and ligaments in the face and neck.
- Improving overall quality of life: By finding relief from jaw pain and headaches through TMJ treatment, you can improve your overall quality of life. You’ll be able to eat, speak, and smile more comfortably, and you’ll be able to enjoy your favorite activities without the distraction of pain.
