Are You a Candidate for a Neuromuscular Exam?
Neuromuscular disorder, sometimes called temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, or TMD, causes a variety of symptoms, including:
- Jaw clenching
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Inability to fully open or close the mouth
- Loose teeth
- Tingling in the fingertips
- Forward head posturing
- Mouth breathing
- Tongue thrusts
- Headaches, including migraines
- Sensitive or sore teeth
- Facial, neck, jaw, and/or shoulder pain
- Ringing in the ears
- Ear congestion
- Jaw-clicking
- Worn front teeth
If you experience any of these symptoms, you may benefit from a neuromuscular exam. Dr. Schwam will use modern diagnostic tools to assess your condition and pinpoint the source of your discomfort. In addition, Dr. Schwam recommends that anyone considering cosmetic or restorative treatments undergo a neuromuscular exam to prevent neuromuscular distress.
