What to Expect During TMJ Therapy
In a session employing the Active Release Technique for TMJ, the practitioner will utilize manual therapy methods to alleviate binding adhesions and foster rapid rejuvenation in the TMJ region. Your chiropractor will apply considered pressure and manipulation to the region presenting TMJ dysfunction and discomfort. Some minor soreness is anticipated, but it is typically short-lived. Most patients notice a significant improvement even after their first session, and major relief is usually reported within six ART sessions.

Though highly effective for TMJ disorders, ART is also a suitable treatment for various other painful conditions associated with the musculoskeletal system. The problems it can help alleviate include:
