Post-accident TMJ / Trauma Evaluation & Treatment
Post-accident or post-trauma temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation and treatment involve assessing and addressing any damage or dysfunction that may have occurred in the TMJ area due to an injury or trauma. Trauma to the jaw, face, or head from accidents, falls, sports injuries, or other incidents can lead to various TMJ-related issues, including dislocation, fractures, ligament injuries, disc displacement, muscle strain, or temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). These could lead to a range of symptoms such as:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Headaches or earaches
- Muscle stiffness or soreness in the face or neck
