TMJ and jaw pain treatment at our Norwood TMJ Center
Temporomandibular disorders are a group of conditions involving the jaw joint, chewing muscles and nerves of the head, neck and face. Symptoms are real, complex and often connected to posture, muscle tension, stress, joint mechanics and other pain conditions.
Our Norwood TMJ Center brings focused evaluation and conservative treatment to a condition that is often misunderstood. Surgery is rarely the first answer.
Care at the TMJ Center is one-on-one, with the same physical therapist at each visit.
