TMJ Dysfunction

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a diarthrosis joint that connects the mandible (lower jaw) to the temporal bone at the side of a skull. As a modified hinge joint, not only does the TMJ enable the jaw to open and close, it also enables the jaw to move forward and backward, as well as laterally.

Outpatient Orthopedic Rehabilitation Program is designed to counsel and develop an appropriate treatment program to help with this condition.
