Treating TMJ in Kenora
Because there can often be multiple causes for TMJ symptoms, there’s not a “set” way of treating these conditions. That being said, the first step in any successful treatment is the proper diagnosis.
We will perform an evaluation of your symptoms and concerns and suggest a customized treatment therapy for your condition.
We try and work with you to identify other treatment partners—such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, cranio/mandibular specialists or even massage therapists — who try and work together to bring you relief.
