Reducing inflammation in muscles-joints-ligaments of chewing system & cervical system
Of the 250 physical therapists in triangle area, only about 25 physical therapists have adequate training to integrate of chewing system with cervical system. In some larger towns in NC, we may have 25 PT but only 1 PT trained in TMD.
Insurance control over Physical Therapy: 1) Decreased time allowed for each patient 2) Eliminated paying for certain tools 3) Forced increase delegation to PT assistants 4) Cause individual into larger clinics
Physical therapist manages dysfunctional joint-ligament-muscle system to ensure healing of joint muscle complex. With their hands and various tools, they still do outstanding job of removing inflammation from TMD & neck system.
ORTHOPEDIC TEAM: 1) Physcial therapy sucks inflammation out joint muscle complex 2) Biofeedback disallows inflammation from coming back 3) Chewing system orthopedist manages orthotic & other tools to reduce inflammation in TMD 4) Patient responsible for changes health habits to increase proper healing 5) As a team, we can be successful at even a complex joint and complex pain
Tools for reducing inflammation
The influence of posture and stress on muscle contraction of jaw and neck is a primary etiologic factor in TMD. Jeff Mannheimer, PhD (renowned PT) Dental Clinics 1991
Ionotophoresis:
Muscle damage from over stimulation by 1) Enlargement of muscle mass 2 ) Trigger Points
Trigger Points:
Manual therapy:
Ultrasound:
Dry Needling:
Chewing system orthopedic Team
Talents of Physical Therapist (PT):
No one on team is more effective at chronic pain or chewing system orthopedics than the other. It is not unusual for each patient accentuate one area over another, but is not consistently. One patient will say physical therapy or biofeedback works best forth, but all understand it was team effort.
Warning: If you see someone is advertising that treat TMD by themselves, run, don’t walk from that office. That is an “ego” talking, not orthopedic science.
ORTHOPEDIC TEAM VS construction team: 1) Construction team: 1) plumber 2) electrician 3) carpenter 2) Each team member has tool box 3) Each tool box has assortment tools 4) You need finest professionals to ensure tools properly applied 5) Construction foreman oversees house builders interest
New areas for physical therapy: 1) Therapies: a )dry needling b) hypermobility c) airway constriction. d) trigger point 2) Co-ordination care: a) Massage b) Exercise physiology c) Yoga d) Chiropractic care 2) Joint stabilization for hypermobility 3) Hyoid dysfunction 4) Computer posture 5) Parafunction in chew & neck system
Physcial therapist must have extra training to manage the chewing system. They are gifted at most joint muscle systems, but they left TMD out dental school, ENT school, medical school, and all dental specialities. The first to treat TMD was dentist with limited nightguards acting like "Lone Ranger" (old black & white cowboy show on early TV). We finally grew up or science finally revealed the "TMD" was a joint muscle problem requiring orthopedic team to manage complex joint muscle system.

1). Parafunction is strongest risk factor
2) Tension muscles is slow insidious factor
