Secrest Family Chiropractic Offers TMJ Relief with

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TMJ relief is possible with the whole-body approach offered to patients using targeted chiropractic techniques. This Scottsdale chiropractic clinic looks at underlying factors and a complete patient history to develop individualized chiropractic treatment program for TMJ. Migraines, vertigo, and neck pain can all result from acute or chronic TMJ, interfering in daily activities and patient comfort. TMJ treatment at Secrest Family Chiropractic involves subtle manipulations, trigger point therapy, and other techniques to address TMJ issues and patient education to prevent future flare-ups.

Acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint and associated jaw “clicking” are hallmarks of TMJ. Possible factors leading to the condition include degenerative joint disease, trauma, or teeth grinding. In addition, back problems and poor posture can also be reasons patients experience TMJ.

Chiropractic care can be useful in treating TMJ discomfort and misalignments naturally.  A chiropractor will adjust the temporomandibular joint, misalignments in the spinal column and attached structures, and reposition the jaw itself with trigger point therapy. As with any doctor, a thorough assessment is needed to find out the scope and severity of a patient’s TMJ disorder and potential contributing factors. Involvement of a patient’s dentist is also helpful in identifying and addressing the underlying causes of an individual’s TMJ.

Secrest Family Chiropractic explores various avenues of pain relief and treatment with specialized techniques such as trigger point therapy, massage therapy, kinesiology, and more. Once the TMJ is under control, Scottsdale chiropractors work with patients to make changes and use targeted exercises to prevent a reoccurrence of TMJ.

“Chiropractic care can effectively address cases of TMJ and related conditions,” said Dr. Daniel P. Secrest, DC. “As an experienced chiropractor, I turn to a variety of specialized techniques and subtle manipulations to reduce muscle tension, realign the jaw and spinal column, and decrease discomfort. Holistic treatment programs take into account the individual preferences of a patient, the underlying reasons for their TMJ, and their history. We are happy to work with cooperating dental professionals to get a full picture of a patient’s history and needs. Many patients are surprised by the efficacy of chiropractic care for TMJ.”
