Botox® and TMJ Pain Relief
Is My TMJ to Blame For My Pain?
TMJ disorder or TMD can make life painful, stressful, and downright unbearable. TMJ pain is typically caused by a misaligned bite, but it can also be due to stress. Botox therapy can get rid of your pain and help you to stop clenching, grinding, and further aggravating your overactive muscles. You’ll feel rejuvenated and pain-free thanks to decreased muscle activity, increased muscle tone, and minimized contractions. Botox works well individually or in conjunction with other TMJ treatments such as an oral appliance.
Facial Pain
Headaches. Tension. Discomfort in your jaw and around your neck. When you’re in pain, it makes doing the everyday tasks difficult or nearly impossible. But thanks to breakthroughs and medical success with Botox therapy, you can be free from pain and preventive medications. Dr. Yant is specially trained to administer this effective and fast-acting treatment to help you feel better with the 24-relief you’ve been searching for.
TMJ
Your TMJ is deeply connected to surrounding muscles, tissues, and bones spanning from your neck to your entire head. Botox injections can be used alone or as part of a larger TMJ pain treatment plan. Some patients see success with wearing a bite guard at night, while other patients find Botox provides them long-lasting relief through muscle relaxation. This helps to stop clenching and the grinding that can accompany TMJ pain or TMJ disorder.
