TMJ Treatment in SW Calgary

Find Relief from TMJ Discomfort Today

If you’ve been struggling with jaw discomfort, frequent headaches, or an uncomfortable, clicking jaw, there’s a good chance you could be dealing with TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction).

TMJ is more common than you might think, and it can disrupt your life in ways you may not even realize—like affecting your ability to chew, causing discomfort around your ears, or making you feel like you can’t fully relax.

But the good news is that you don’t have to live with it. Using treatments like Dysport injections, our team targets the root causes of your symptoms, leaving you with a more relaxed jaw, fewer headaches, and an improved quality of life.

Don’t let TMJ hold you back—contact us to schedule your appointment today.

How We Treat TMJ

The most common cause of TMJ is a misalignment of the teeth or jaw, often referred to as a “bad bite.” We take a thorough approach to diagnosing and treating TMJ. Our team will perform a detailed examination, take X-rays, and review your dental history to fully understand your symptoms.

Our TMJ treatments may include:

• Dysport injections: For fast relief, Dysport injections can relax the muscles around the jaw, providing relief from jaw discomfort, headaches, and discomfort when chewing.
• Custom bite guards: A specially moulded device worn at night to prevent teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
• Bite relationship analysis: Assessing the alignment of your teeth to detect any misalignment contributing to TMJ.
• Relaxation techniques: Recommendations for stress-relief exercises to alleviate jaw tension.
• Realignment of teeth: A noninvasive procedure to adjust your bite, reducing TMJ symptoms and improving dental function.

Neurotoxin Treatment for Headaches & Migraines

TMJ dysfunction and other factors can lead to chronic headaches or migraines. For people with TMJ, tension in the jaw muscles is a key contributor to frequent, intense headaches. 

For migraine relief, botulinum toxin (Dysport) is injected with a small needle throughout various areas of your face, head, and neck. This process is customized for you by catering to your pain relief needs.

How Dysport Works for Migraines

When you have a migraine, your body releases substances called neurotransmitters and molecules that are associated with pain. Dysport interferes with this transmission by blocking nerve impulses, where muscles meet nerves or other tissues in our bodies. 

When the drug is injected into these areas of concern, it absorbs through the skin and allows for smoother movement, which in turn prevents discomfort.

The effects of treatment usually last 3–4 months before your next treatment is required.

For people who live with migraine pain, this quick, effective, and noninvasive treatment can be life-changing. The procedure only takes a few minutes and there’s no wait time at the office afterward.
