- Ringing in ears
- Jaw pain or tiredness
- Ear pain

TMJ can cause great pain and discomfort while eating or even talking. If you experience TMJ dysfunction, talk to the staff at Body Elite Physical Therapy. We will evaluate your jaw and joints and determine the best treatment plan for you.
Dry Needling for TMJ Treatment at Body Elite Physical Therapy
Dry needling may be an effective treatment for patients with TMJ. The use of needles to release trigger points can help to relieve tension in the jaw, thus decreasing pain. Dry needling is commonly used with other treatments to get the most out of your therapy experience.
Please note that dry needling is not appropriate for everyone, and your physical therapist at Body Elite will evaluate your condition and determine if it is right for you.
