Effective TMJ and Headache Treatment in Redondo Beach: Say Goodbye to Pain
What is Treatment of TMJ and Headaches?
The primary joint in your jaw is the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). TMJ muscles run along your jaw and cheeks and are involved in chewing, speaking, and even laughing. Frequent tension in these muscles can lead to teeth grinding and jaw clenching during sleep or subconsciously, which may cause pain, including headaches. The founder of Uplifted Medical Aesthetic, Hula, who suffered from TMJ for a long time, has developed a meticulously perfected treatment plan for headaches in Los Angeles. While most clinics offer only Botox injections into the jaw, at our comfortable Redondo Beach office, you will be offered comprehensive TMJ treatment, including neurotoxins, prescription medications, and physical therapy.
How Does Treatment of TMJ and Headaches Work?
Excessive jaw clenching due to TMJ disorders prevents muscle relaxation, which can lead to pain or discomfort in the jaw, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, jaw joint clicking, pain during eating, talking, yawning, swallowing, headaches, and ringing in the ears. Traditional treatment methods have long included surgical intervention, night guards, or bite splints. At Uplifted, we use only modern treatment methods, including TMJ Botox, prescription medications, and TMJ massage in Los Angeles. While Botox is commonly used in cosmetology to reduce wrinkles, its ability to temporarily block the connection between nerves and muscles is also used for therapeutic purposes. Botox injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles temporarily relax these muscles and reduce their ability to contract. Over time, the jaw muscles gradually regain their natural movement, and TMJ symptoms begin to disappear.

Types of Treatment of TMJ and Headaches
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, with one on each side of your jaw. TMJ disorders cause pain in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movements. This can be caused by factors such as teeth clenching or grinding (bruxism), jaw injury, arthritis, or genetics. In most cases, discomfort and pain associated with TMJ disorders can be relieved with neurotoxin injections. If you experience persistent headaches and jaw sensitivity, seek medical attention at Uplifted Medical Aesthetics in Redondo Beach. Our TMJ specialist will discuss possible causes and treatment methods for your condition.
