Chiropractic Care for TMJ and Jaw Pain in Rhode Island

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw, making it difficult to chew, speak, or open your mouth entirely. TMJ pain often results from tension, misalignment, or inflammation in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. DeCrescenzo Chiropractic offers non-invasive treatments to relieve TMJ pain, restore jaw function, and promote long-term relief. Our chiropractic care focuses on addressing the root causes of your TMJ pain and improving overall function.

Common Causes of TMJ and Jaw Pain

TMJ and jaw pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

  • Jaw Misalignment: Misalignment in the temporomandibular joint can cause pain and difficulty moving the jaw.
  • Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Chronic grinding or teeth clenching can pressure the jaw joint, leading to inflammation and discomfort.
  • Muscle Tension: Stress or muscle tension in the jaw, neck, or shoulders can contribute to TMJ pain.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation of the TMJ joint due to arthritis can cause stiffness, pain, and difficulty opening the mouth.
  • Jaw Injury: Trauma to the jaw or face can lead to long-term TMJ pain and dysfunction.

Chiropractic Treatment for TMJ and Jaw Pain in Rhode Island

At DeCrescenzo Chiropractic, we provide non-invasive chiropractic treatments that focus on relieving TMJ pain, reducing muscle tension, and improving alignment in the jaw and spine. We aim to help you find long-term relief from TMJ discomfort and restore normal jaw function.

TMJ

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy

Class IV Hot Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment option that uses high-intensity laser energy to stimulate healing and reduce inflammation in the extremities. The laser energy penetrates deep into the tissues, increasing blood circulation and promoting cellular regeneration. This can help reduce pain, numbness, and tingling associated with various extremity conditions.

TMJ

Shockwave Therapy

Shockwave therapy is an advanced treatment option that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce pain in the extremities. The sound waves create microtrauma in the affected tissues, triggering the body's natural healing response. This can help break down scar tissue, reduce inflammation, and promote the growth of new blood vessels, leading to long-term pain relief.

Symptoms of TMJ and Jaw Pain

The symptoms of TMJ disorder and jaw pain can vary depending on the severity and underlying cause. Common symptoms include:

  • Pain or tenderness in the jaw or around the ears
  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
  • Difficulty opening the mouth wide
  • Jaw locking or stiffness
  • Headaches or neck pain associated with jaw tension

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, seeking chiropractic care to prevent further complications and relieve pain is essential.

I’ve had a great experience with this chiropractor. The entire staff is professional, friendly, and welcoming. They genuinely care about their patients and take the time to understand your pain and concerns. Since starting my treatment after my accident, I’ve felt well taken care of. The chiropractor is knowledgeable, attentive, and makes sure I’m comfortable during every visit. The office is clean, organized, and appointments run smoothly even if you get there ahead of time they’ll still take you. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care and a team that truly cares about your recovery.

I have been going to DeCrescenzo Chiropractic for many years now. I come in mostly incapacitated and after a few sessions leave with full mobility. I’m always seen in less than 24 hours and the Doctors and support staff are always friendly and caring. It is truly like family.

I have had so much success with this group. The service is very professional and accommodating. The shock wave therapy has worked wonders as well as the traction.
Christine L.
Everyone was very thoughtful and helpful. The space is beautiful. And after 26 days of headache, I had my first 2 headache free days after my first visit.

My first visit ever to a chiropractor.

Nice office: furniture like someone’s living room! Very clean and no dust anywhere.

Courteous staff. Dr Annie G was also very cordial and open for questions and did a thorough job of questioning me about details of reason for my visit.

This was followed by a careful exam of my back by deep palpation and then a minor adjustment of my L hip.

The visit concluded with an EMG (electric pads treatment) of my upper shoulders by her medical assistant for 10 minutes which was a bit surreal because it felt like a massage but no one was pressing anything. It felt very good basically once I got used to it.

Doctor Annie G took a moment to say goodbye and her receptionist said they were faxing her recommendations for X-rays to my primary care MD so the price of these X-rays would be covered by my insurance. Thoughtful.

I was billed $50 for first visit since it was not covered by my insurance or Medicare.

My primary insurance is Tri-care since I’m retired military and I was disappointed it was not accepted. When I looked into it, it would not have covered a first visit anyway though.

I guess I will just have to see how my secondary insurer Medicare handles these visits.

But otherwise, I was highly satisfied and I want to continue my care here.

So it’s been 2 months of treatment now. I am now down to every 2 weeks. The problems with my neck are much improved. My lower back still bothers me but it isn’t every day any more and overall it’s improved so I can walk more comfortably. I am continuing my visits and although the doctor urged me to come in anytime I was having a bad day and she would squeeze me in! This has not been necessary but I appreciated her telling me that.

Medicare is covering my visits except for a small Co-pay. I continue to highly recommend Decrecenso Chiropractic and Dr Annie G and her assistants and staff to anyone who has pain issues with their neck or lower back similar to mine.
Yonaira M.
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Frankie Rodriguez and the entire team. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and professional throughout my recovery after my accident. Dr. Rodriguez took excellent care of both me and my son, and I truly appreciated how attentive and caring he was with us. I had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great chiropractic care!
