Clear the Cervical Spine

Our comprehensive upper quarter assessment will take a deep dive into your patients neck status and add confidence to your assessment of TMD as a cause of your patient’s discomfort.

Pain Management

Pain reduction is one of the easiest goals of physiotherapy intervention…often occurring after only our evaluation session.

Restoring Balance Prior to TMJ Orthotic Prescription

Having your patient attend a few PT sessions prior to fitting them for a TMJ splint may allow a more “normal” environment for which you can fit the mold to. In our assessment we auscultate for joint sounds and conduct screening tests which can help with suggestions for orthotic recommendation/selection.
