Platelet Rich Plasma to the TMJ.

There are multiple ways to treat TMJ and more places are starting to offer Non Surgical TMJ Treatment. The treatment used is often down to what the client is most comfortable with. Using a natural approach to healing the TMJ using regenerative injection therapy has been shown clinically to be of great benefit. We have been treating TMJ using these methods for almost 20 years. The techniques we are using have improved much since the early days and the use of growth factors from the patient’s own blood (PRP) and or stem cells in more advanced cases has shown promising results! We also use ultrasound guidance to see the TMJ as well as guide our injections. This is a way for you to avoid painful TMJ surgery. PRP and Stem Cell is minimally invasive and little to no downtime needed.

We also specialize in a unique type of structural alignment for the face and jaw using something called Functional Cranial Release which can have benefit to those suffering issues with TMJ alignment which causes stress to the tissues and disc around the TMJ. For more information on FCR for TMJ see FunctionalCranialRelease.com.

RESEARCH ON REGENERATIVE INJECTIONS FOR TMJ

A new article was published proving efficacy of Autologous blood ( using the patient’s own blood) for treatment of TMJ at 1 year follow up. 80% of patients had significant improvements when treated with Autologous blood.

Ultimately we may find that Platelet Rich Plasma offers the most healing potential in TMJ dysfunction by delivering potent growth factors to accelerate healing.
