What are temporomandibular disorders?

Temporomandibular disorders can be caused by inflammation, muscle imbalances, or trauma. These problems can lead to pain and limitations in jaw movements. It is important to receive a correct diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan.

What are the causes of temporomandibular disorders?

Intra-articular causes:

• Synovitis: Inflammation of the synovium that leads to pain and limited movement.
• Retrodiscitis: Inflammation of the retrodiscal tissue, causing jaw deviation.
• Disc displacement: Can be with or without reduction, causing pain and movement limitations.
• Arthritis: Causes inflammation and deterioration of the temporomandibular joint, resulting in persistent pain.
• Hypermobility: Causes pain and jaw deviation.

Extra-articular causes:

• Muscle spasm (trismus): Affects the masticatory muscles and can be caused by stress or bruxism.
• Temporal muscle tendinopathy: Occurs due to excessive contraction.
• Jaw fractures: Can occur at the level of the mandibular symphysis or condyle.

Treatment of the temporomandibular joint at Centrokinetic:

Temporomandibular disorders, although recurrent, are not usually progressive. Physical-kinetic treatment has proven effective in alleviating symptoms. Most patients see improvements within 3-6 weeks of starting conservative treatment.

Available treatment options:

• Kinesiotherapy: Our specialists in temporomandibular disorders will guide you through personalized exercises designed to restore the physiological movements of the joint and reduce pain.
• Physiotherapy (TENS, Laser, TECAR): Advanced techniques for reducing pain and inflammation.
• Massage and manual therapy play an important role in the treatment of temporomandibular disorders, helping to reduce muscle tension and pain. Through specialized techniques, our therapists relax the tense masticatory muscles and improve blood circulation in the affected area, which facilitates healing and reduces inflammation. This approach helps release tension points and restore normal functionality of the temporomandibular joint, significantly improving patients' quality of life.
• Anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants: Reduce inflammation and relax muscles.
• Botulinum toxin injections: Effective in cases of severe pain.
• Orthodontic treatment: Corrects dental alignment.
• Surgical interventions: If other methods do not provide the desired results.
