Are you approaching TMJ dysfunction by focusing on the jaw only? Discover how lasting symptom relief necessitates more global thinking! The intensity of pain and limitations imposed by TMD can quickly turn life upside down for your patient. However, with application of the correct skills, you can get your patient walking, talking and chewing gum like a boss!
With an understanding of the pathomechanics and function of the TMJ complex, you will be able to address everyday activities like chewing and yawning — plus facial, head, neck and even ear pain caused by mobility impairments of the jaw and cervical spine.
Learn how to avoid tunnel vision and only ‘treating symptoms’ by discovering how much the entire cervical spine and even thoracic spine positioning impacts the TMJ. You will learn easy to apply and effective techniques to integrate:
Myofascial and positional release
Joint and soft tissue mobilization
Craniosacral therapy
Neuromuscular re-education techniques
You will gain essential skills to successfully treat this multifaceted diagnosis with techniques that reduce pain on the very first visit. Prolong the effects of your manual therapy with proven HEP tactics that help with everyday activities like eating, smiling, and yawning without pain.
您是否僅通過關注下頜來解決 TMJ 功能障礙？發現持久的症狀緩解如何需要更多的全球思維！TMD 帶來的劇烈疼痛和局限性可能會迅速顛覆患者的生活。然而，通過應用正確的技巧，您可以讓您的患者像老闆一樣走路、說話和嚼口香糖！
了解 TMJ 複合體的病理機制和功能後，您將能夠應對咀嚼和打哈欠等日常活動，以及由下巴和頸椎活動障礙引起的面部、頭部、頸部甚至耳朵疼痛。
通過發現整個頸椎甚至胸椎定位對 TMJ 的影響程度，了解如何避免隧道視野和僅“治療症狀”。您將學習易於應用且有效的技術來整合：
肌筋膜和位置釋放
關節和軟組織動員
顱骶療法
神經肌肉再教育技術
您將獲得必要的技能，通過在第一次就診時減輕疼痛的技術成功治療這種多方面的診斷。通過行之有效的 HEP 策略延長您的手法治療的效果，這些策略有助於日常活動，如進食、微笑和打哈欠，而不會感到疼痛。
