Treatments to Address the Origin of TMJ Pain and Sleep Disorders

Masking TMJ jaw pain does not fix the condition, and treatments that aim to lessen the pain fail to help the patient fully. The TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre of St. Louis seeks to uncover the origin of every patient’s symptoms to create customized care protocols that treat the cause of pain, discomfort and other issues.

TMJ disorder can cause headache locations that radiate to the jaw, but the classic symptom of TMJ is jaw pain. The TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre provides treatments and therapies for TMJ that are personalized for each patient and their unique symptoms. Dr. Frith creates specialized appliances to help reposition the jaw and remedy pain and other symptoms. Unlike mouthguards which offer a temporary solution, these appliances help to soothe and realign the joint and correct the underlying cause of TMJ pain and symptoms.

The TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre also offers treatments and therapies for patients who suffer from sleep disorders like sleep apnea. The symptoms of sleep apnea include snoring and daytime lethargy, but some patients can experience morning headaches or find it difficult to concentrate. Some patients might exhibit more worrisome symptoms from sleep apnea; this condition can cause high blood pressure, weight gain and other health concerns.

Dr. Frith will discuss treatment options with patients to help them understand how the TMJ and Sleep Therapy Centre can alleviate their symptoms by addressing the underlying cause of their condition.
