Botox for your TMJ (tempero mandibular joint) by Dr.Rajat Sachdeva | TMJ...





Temporomandibular joint pain or TMJ pain is common. Botox injections can help patients who have not improved with simpler treatments. 
Temporomandibular disorder is a common cause of chronic facial pain and is known to interfere with personal relations, professional duties, and overall quality of life. Appropriate diagnosis allows physicians to identify the disorder and initiate an effective therapeutic plan. Botulinum toxin can provide long-term relief of TMD by reducing the intensity, frequency, and duration of recurrent episodes. Adverse effects from BoNT injections are uncommon, mild and transient making it an attractive option for adjunctive therapy for myofascial TMD in patients who have failed initial conservative therapy and systemic pharmacotherapy.
