Dry Needling – TMJ

Frequently Asked Questions

do you offer orthotics?

We offer the highest quality custom orthotics that fit any type of shoe and need. We have a laser scanner that maps the bottom of the foot to get the perfect fit.

Does foot health affect the rest of my body?

If your feet are out of balance, for instance if one arch is smaller than another, it can cause the pelvis to not be level leading to pain in the lumbar area.

how long is each appointment?

How long a visit takes depends on each person’s unique situation. The initial exam and successive exams take more time then visits that are purely treatment in general. We value your time, but also make sure that our quality of care for you is our number one priority.

does insurance cover all treatments?

We accept most insurances but there are specific insurances that may only cover certain services. We recommend patients check with their insurance on what is covered on their plan. Please bring your insurance information to our office so we can verify your benefits.

is the therapy painful?

The treatments offered by our clinic alleviate pain and are found by most patients to feel great. Certain treatments may cause minor soreness especially if you have experienced a recent injury, but we do have very gentle treatment methods available to make any potential treatment soreness minimal or none at all. Laser therapy for the foot has been found to be very effective in certain cases.

How It Works

Our treatment targets the trigger points of the neck and jaw to release the TMJ to decrease pain and provide relief.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder – TMD – is the disorder associated with TMJ; pain and discomfort may come from the joint or the ligaments around it. Dry needling can help release the tension in these areas.
