Is TMJ disorder (TMJD) causing you considerable discomfort and taking a noticeable toll on your quality of life?

Dr. Frank Skretch at Anchor Point Physical Therapy can help.

Dr. Frank specializes in natural pain management for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, one of which is TMJD. It can cause remarkable pain and can have a significant adverse effect on your everyday life.

What is TMJD? 

Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJD, is a condition that is marked by pain in your jaw, face, neck, or head. The pain can be intermittent and is often triggered by common jaw movements. You may also experience clicking, catching, and popping sounds in your jaw.

How Does Physical Therapy Help Patients with TMJD? 

Physical therapists help people with TMJD ease pain, regain normal jaw movement, and lessen daily stress and tension that can have an effect on the muscles around the mouth.

Dr. Frank is a Certified Manual Trigger Point Therapist (CMTPT) who regularly treats TMJD with Trigger Point Dry Needling (TDN). A primary underlying cause of this disorder is due to tension built up in the muscles around the jaw. TDN is a safe, natural, and effective technique to bring rapid relief and help you be yourself again.
