Using manual therapy techniques is just one of the treatments we use to help alleviate TMD symptoms. We may also use dry needling techniques to reduce jaw tension and discomfort.

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) can cause significant jaw pain, discomfort, and dysfunction, making everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and even yawning difficult.

This condition often results from issues such as muscle tension, joint misalignment, or excessive teeth grinding.

Our expert physical therapists provide specialized care to help alleviate TMD symptoms. Through manual therapy, targeted exercises, posture correction, and pain-relief techniques, we work to restore proper jaw function and reduce discomfort.

If you're struggling with jaw pain, our team at IMPACT is here to help you find lasting relief. Schedule an appointment today!

Dynamometer muscle testing at IMPACT Physical Therapy & Sports Recovery measures precise muscle strength using a force gauge, helping to identify muscle imbalances, monitor progress, and optimize performance.

It provides objective data that enables our clinicians to accurately diagnose weaknesses, design tailored treatment plans, and track recovery. The test also aids in detecting asymmetries or imbalances between limbs, which can highlight potential injury risks.

It plays a crucial role in determining when athletes are ready to safely return to their sport after injury or surgery by assessing the symmetry and strength of their muscles.

Let us help your athlete return to play. Call 833-299-4672 for more information.
