In our Muscular Rehabilitation Center of Florida, 

 

First, digging into the cause of your TMJ dysfunction. It's our Spodak Method. To know the root of the problem and treat it and the problem itself, so How??

• We should know when you feel the pain, is it when you open your mouth, when you close it, when you chew, whistle or any other movement.

• We also should know which muscle is tense, examining your mandible. There are a lot of muscles surrounding your TMJ and knowing those tense muscles would help relieving your pain.

• Is there any deviations in your mandible or even your head bones? Another question that needs to be answered before starting our therapy.

​

Our neuromuscular therapy:

​

Of course, at first, we will tell you everything you need to know about your condition, why it occurred and how our neuromuscular therapy works and its efficacy, of course.

• The therapist would focus on your trigger points, which are some hypertonic, hyperirritable points in your muscles that cause such pain and dysfunction, something like knots in the muscles. By applying pressure to these knots, they'll be relaxed, relieving tension and pain and regaining normal jaw movements. We'll be focusing on your jaw, head and neck muscles and even the back muscles.

• Postural correction. Yup, you would ask why my posture would affect my jaw, causing such TMJ dysfunction. Let me explain, wrong postures would make your jaw tilt or go forward maybe. So, the jaw's muscles would just do their best to try to get the jaw back to its normal position and of course, this continuous hard effort would just make the muscles tense and stressed. And this is what causes such annoying symptoms. So, research studies stated that after only one month of postural exercises, TMJ dysfunction symptoms have significantly improved either the pain severity of the movement of the Jaw.

​

So, examining your alignment from head to toe, performing postural exercises and of course, educating you how to keep the best posture at home and at work are what we will be doing in our Muscular Rehabilitation Center of Florida.

 

So, just relax and don't worry about your pain, just think about getting back to normal again. Together, with The Spodak Method, let's start a new life.

TMJ pain phenomenon is also known as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). TMD is a collective name describing the multitude of symptoms occurring with the complex dysfunction of many systems cooperating to produce chewing, swallowing and stabilizing the spine and the upper shoulder girdle. The TMJ pain is not a local phenomenon but a whole body misbalance that may land itself in the jaw or be silent at the jaw and yet disturb, breathing and spinal stability elsewhere below the neck. TMJ is also a notorious factor in many headache syndromes.
