information
TMJ disorder is also known as Temporomandibular Joint disorder. It affects the jaw joint that allows your mouth to open and close. Common causes of TMJ include teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, injury or trauma, or arthritis. Furthermore, it can significantly impact daily activities. At the Sugarbox Clinic in Newport, we provide TMJ pain treatment to help relieve your discomfort.
If you suffer from difficulty opening your mouth, or chronic headaches, we can help you. At the Sugarbox Clinic, we specialise in treating TMJ with muscle relaxants. Using muscle relaxing injections, we can relax your overactive facial muscles. By reducing muscle activity, jaw pain is reduced.
Due to its ability to target the muscle overactivity and tension, muscle relaxant blocks neurotransmitter signals and prevents the release of chemicals that cause muscle contractions. While results are not instant, symptom relief should start within a few days.
As a targeted and minimally invasive treatment, patients can manage their TMJ symptoms without the need for surgery or a long period of recovery. At the Sugarbox Clinic, our TMJ pain treatment provides you with the relief you deserve. Your wellbeing is our priority, and we can guide you through the treatment process.
