Immediate Relief From The Misery Of TMJ Pain
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) links your skull and jawbone together and functions as a hinge to help you open and close your mouth and move your jaw from side to side. But if you have a TMJ disorder, you know that the pain makes it difficult (sometimes impossible) to open and close your mouth or move your jaw.
If you suffer from TMJ pain, it might be for many reasons, from trauma to stress, grinding your teeth to osteoarthritis. But whatever the reason, it’s vital to get professional treatment. Once TMJ pain becomes chronic, the pain can be immobilizing and affect all areas of your life.
One of the newest and most effective treatments for TMJ pain and TMJ disorders – that provides immediate relief and long-term healing is Hot Laser Therapy. At TMJ Therapy of Atlanta, we’re delighted to offer this treatment to select patients we deem suitable candidates.

Long-Term Healing At The Speed of Light
Research confirms that many TMJ disorders track back to a problem with blood circulation to the face and jaw muscles. If this is the case for you, waste builds up in your cells. It doesn’t allow oxygen to circulate within those cells, preventing natural healing.
Inflammation increases and triggers a cascade of events inside the body that causes pain when this happens. Some patients suffer from TMJ pain due to specific chemical imbalances in the jaw muscles that lead to muscle fatigue and inflammation.
The root cause of long-term inflammation is the buildup of damaged cells. Hot Laser Therapy reduces oxidative stress resulting in increased cell survival and decreased damage. It also helps produce anti-inflammatory cytokines and expedite the repair of damaged tissue. The process also reduces the production of inflammation-causing cytokines and decreases prostaglandins leading to pain alleviation.
Hot Laser Therapy is quick and painless – aside from a gentle warming sensation. But the results are long-lasting. It alleviates pain and discomfort and reduces the problematic inflammation within the jaw and the surrounding area.
The process Hot Laser Therapy uses is called “photobiomodulation,” which means it works with biomolecules within the cell to boost the production of a chemical called ATP. When ATP increases, it helps improve:
- Repair, regeneration, and replacement of cells that are damaged
- Replication of healthy cells
- Increase in the production of DNA
- Improved cellular metabolism
The result? Clearance of the cellular debris that causes TMJ Pain.
The low voltage laser enables this clearance by increasing the blood circulation that eliminates the buildup of cellular waste in the affected muscles and joints of the jaw. As a result, new blood vessels and capillaries form, and fresh oxygen and nutrients flood the jaw and surrounding muscles and connective tissues.
