A common treatment method for chronic pain is manual therapy, in order to alleviate pain, increase mobility, and decrease scar tissue. Treatment plans will also include targeted exercises and stretches, in order to improve your strength and balance.
Therapeutic Exercise
Physical therapy helps reduce pain. Therapeutic exercises pump oxygen, blood, and nutrients to the injury site and enhance healing. Every exercise and stretch prescribed by a physical therapist has a specific goal for recovery and improves function and mobility. Our Johnson City, TN physical therapist will develop a personalized treatment plan targeted to your car injury.
Acupuncture
A jaw specialist may also use a dental splint to keep teeth properly aligned and prevent tooth grinding. Other types of medical treatment include trigger point acupuncture, joint replacement, or a TMJ arthroscopy.
