Treating Jaw Pain and TMJ
Jaw pain and TMJ-related discomfort are often connected to overworked jaw muscles caused by clenching, stress, posture, or repetitive strain. These symptoms can vary widely from person to person. That’s why a personalized assessment is an important first step in understanding what’s driving your discomfort.
Personalized Treatments
At SPRY Skin & Wellness, we take a conservative, education-first approach to jaw pain treatment. Instead of a cookie-cutter care plan that overlooks your unique symptoms, SPRY providers tailor treatments to your experience and needs.
EmFace treatments are ideal for patients in their 30s to 60s who want to improve the strength of the muscles in their face and jaw. We especially recommend EmFace to patients seeking a noninvasive, needle-free option to help manage jaw pain. This treatment can help resolve:
- Clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Jaw discomfort from muscle tension
- TMJ-related symptoms
