Injectable Treatment for TMJ Relief

For patients suffering from gnawing facial pain, headaches, or clicking in the jaw, TMJ disorder can be a major disruption to daily life. However, Dr. Chernoff’s injectable treatment for TMJ relief makes the condition not only manageable but painless, so you can take your life back and feel your natural best again.

What is TMJ disorder?

TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder, manifests as a condition that disrupts the normal functioning of the joints connecting the jawbone to the skull. These pivotal joints are key players in daily activities like speaking, chewing, and yawning, so when they malfunction, individuals may experience a range of uncomfortable symptoms. From persistent jaw pain and difficulty moving the jaw to an audible clicking sound during jaw movement, these symptoms can extend to headaches and earaches, which can significantly impact your quality of life if left untreated.

So, is there treatment for TMJ? Fortunately, there is, and the Chernoff Cosmetic Surgery team is uniquely qualified to address your TMJ relief goals.
