TMJ Help

I was referred to Chinese Acupuncture Healthcare by my dentist for acupuncture treatment for TMJ. I have been suffering from moderate to serious symptoms of TMJ for over five years. During my first visit with Helen, she immediately identified and explained that my TMJ was a result of neck and back alignment issues. Consequently, Helen began treating the sources that were causing the misalignment of my jaw. Previous to my acupuncture treatment, chewing, opening and closing my mouth, and even talking for extended periods of time became extremely painful. After only two treatment sessions, my pain nearly disappeared. For the past five years, I have tried different treatments for pain caused by TMJ, including a night guard and injections in the jaw. Although these treatments provided temporary relief, my TMJ symptoms continued and became more intense over the years. Helen’s approach to treatment is comprehensive, gentle and offers a long term and permanent solution for my TMJ.

Helen’s approach to TMJ treatment is unique and effective because she focuses on the root of the problem. Unlike many other healthcare providers, Helen spent a great deal of time trying to gain an understanding of all of the contributors of TMJ symptoms including stress and anxiety, instead of simply focusing on my area of pain. I would recommend acupuncture treatment to anyone who experiences the painful symptoms of TMJ.
