At SoftWave by Molotherapy, we specialize in providing cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD), a common condition affecting the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. Our SoftWave therapy offers a promising solution for those suffering from TMJ pain, providing relief without the need for invasive procedures.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders encompass a range of problems associated with the temporomandibular joint, a complex system of muscles, ligaments, discs, and bones that control jaw movement. Symptoms of TMJ disorders include pain or tenderness in the jaw, aching pain in and around the ear, difficulty chewing or discomfort while chewing, a locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close the mouth, and clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth.
SoftWave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Approach to TMJ Relief
SoftWave therapy uses acoustic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. This innovative treatment promotes tissue regeneration, increases blood flow, and reduces inflammation. By targeting the affected areas around the TMJ, SoftWave therapy helps alleviate pain and facilitates the healing of the tissues involved.
Our Treatment Protocol for TMJ Disorders
Targeted SoftWave Therapy: Treatment is applied directly to the areas around the jaw to address the TMJ directly. Additional treatment may be applied to associated areas that might contribute to TMJ pain, such as the muscles of mastication and the neck, while avoiding sensitive areas such as the thyroid and esophagus.
Safety Precautions: When treating the neck area to alleviate referred pain, care is taken to avoid the thyroid area at the front of the neck and the esophagus, as directing waves towards these areas can cause discomfort or coughing. If coughing persists, the treatment is adjusted or stopped to ensure patient safety and comfort.
Ear Protection: Due to the proximity of the TMJ to the ears, some patients may experience temporary ear ringing during the therapy. Patients are advised to wear ear protection during the sessions to mitigate this effect, and they are reassured that any ringing typically subsides shortly after the treatment.
Benefits of SoftWave Therapy for TMJ Disorders
Effective Pain Management: SoftWave therapy provides significant relief from the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.
Improved Jaw Function: As the pain decreases and inflammation subsides, patients often experience improved jaw mobility and a reduction in joint noises, enhancing their quality of life.
Non-Invasive and Safe: This therapy offers a significant advantage by being completely non-invasive, eliminating the risks associated with surgical interventions and requiring no recovery time.
Quick and Convenient Sessions: Each treatment session lasts only about 20-30 minutes, and patients can resume their normal activities immediately afterward, making it a practical choice for those with busy schedules.
Treatment Schedule
Frequency of Treatment: Typically, treatments are scheduled twice a week for the first two weeks to provide intensive therapeutic impact, followed by once a week for the next four weeks to maintain the benefits and support ongoing improvements.
