Temporomandibular Joint Pain or TMD
Shockwave Therapy produces a sound wave, focused into your body, at a specific frequency and intensity to stimulate new blood vessel growth, cellular regeneration, and a trigger of the healing part of your immune response. Conditions where the healing has slowed, chronic pain that has lasted a few months, and inflammation and swelling that has not resolved, are perfect for Shockwave Therapy as a treatment option.
If you have tried other treatments but your pain persists, or returns, your healing process might be stalled and need a 'boost'. Steroids reduce inflammation but can delay healing. You can try PRP injections or other injectables guided by x-ray imaging to try and affect healing. OR you can try a painless therapy that is FDA approved to treat chronic pain in the foot like Plantar Fasciitis.
Long term effectiveness of SWT is excellent as it stimulates regeneration of tissue and healing, compared to therapies that temporarily reduce pain and inflammation.
Here are what some of our patients are saying about SWT.
The Headache Center Doctors start with an evaluation to get a baseline of your pain and function.This includes a Diagnostic Ultrasound to check your injured area for tendon or joint damage, inflammation and swelling, and depth of the treatment area, to plan a successful Shockwave Therapy treatment series.
The cost of the evaluation also includes the Diagnostic Ultrasound and is 99$.
