TMJ: quality treatment in Barcelona at our Birbe Clinic
Do you encounter problems with your temporomandibular joint? If so, at Birbe Clinic, we have specialists in TMJ to solve your problem through the most effective treatments. If you want to know much more about TMJ surgery, read carefully this article.
The temporomandibular joint, TMJ, works like a hinge that joins the jaw to the side of the head. In this area, there are two joints on each side of the head, just in front of the ears, and they must work in sync.
One of the functions of this joint is to enable a person to speak and chew properly. Undoubtedly, an ideal part of our body to be able to live the day with quality. However, some of the patients who come to our clinic have an alteration of their joint. These disorders can cause pain and dysfunction in the joint and muscles.
Typically, the cases are in women in their 20s, or in their 40s and 50s. However, we have also encountered babies who, at birth, suffer from a joint disorder such as a total or partial lack of TMJ development. That is why, in these cases, patients should visit our clinic and put themselves in good hands, to quickly solve their problem.
TMJ dysfunction symptoms and treatment to solve this problem
There are three different types of TMJ disorders, each causing different pain. The first is myofascial pain, caused by tension or fatigue, which causes pain in the muscles that control the jaw. On some occasions, it can also lead to reduced mobility of the jaw.
On the other hand, we have internal TMJ derrangements, which is the most common disorder. It usually happens when the meniscus of the TMJ is dislocated or the condyle suffers an injury, causing symptoms with limited mobility, severe joint pain or clicking when moving the joint.
Finally, the joint may also be inflamed or suffer from degenerative changes such as arthrosis or arthritis
The pain caused by this disorder usually occurs in the following areas:
- The face, jaw, or neck.
- Around the ear, as well as in front of or inside the ear.
- On both sides of the face.
- When clenching, the teeth on one side of the face.
- Muscles and jaw.
The treatments carried out at Birbe Clinic to treat TMJ disorders are twofold. On the one hand, we rely on cranial physiotherapy and appropriate exercises, together with personalized stabilization splints. This treatment is carried out by Roser Vidal, who has been specializing in this field for more than two decades.
On the other hand, we perform a minimally invasive surgery, arthrocentesis, which aims to clean the joint, remove microscopic particles, inflammatory tissue, and repair damaged structures, performing a hydraulic expansion of the joint capsule.
