Most people generally don't think that a chiropractor would help someone who suffers with TMJ pain and discomfort. Dr. Ryan has treated hundreds of patients who are diagnosed with TMD (temporomandibular disorder) with excellent results. Temporomandibular disorder occurs when there is a problem with the jaw joint, the disc of the joint, and surrounding fascial muscles that control chewing and moving the jaw. Common signs of TMD are clicking and popping sounds coming from the jaw during chewing. Other signs might be the jaw locking with movement or you cannot open you mouth wide. Sometimes you cannot close your mouth all the way when you have TMD. Individuals who suffer from chronic headaches don't realize it but they have TMD causing their headaches. There is a strong correlation between headaches and TMD. Many times a person's headaches can be cured when their jaw problem gets fixed. Most people use a chiropractor as a last resort for TMJ problems. This is a common mistake. Your chiropractic doctor should be your first treating doctor if you are suffering from TMD. Chiropractors heal and restore joints all over the body. The TMJ is just another joint that is not functioning as it should. As a chiropractor, Dr. Ryan helps his patients by restoring proper functionality of the jaw, disc and joint.
