Living with TMJ discomfort can feel overwhelming. Everyday tasks like talking, chewing, or yawning may bring on pain or stiffness. Over time, untreated TMJ problems can lead to chronic headaches, joint damage, and more severe jaw alignment issues.
Cold laser therapy uses low-level light energy to stimulate healing at the cellular level. It helps reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension around the jaw. The treatment is painless, quick, and often provides noticeable relief after just a few sessions.
