TMJ Dysfunction Treatment
Do you grind your teeth at night? Dealing with jaw pain/stiffness?
A Health Canada approved neuromodulator is used for the temporary control of overactive muscles.
Neuromodulators prevent the release of acetylcholine, which stops the muscle cells from contracting. Muscles begin to relax, resulting in a reduction of muscle spasm and pain in the patient. This effect is completely reversible and is expected to last for a few months with muscle function returning to normal.
