One treatment that was not included in what was suggested is chiropractic care. Not all chiropractors may feel comfortable treating TMJD, however; most are trained in dealing with the biomechanical issues involving the TMJ. I have an article on my website about how I, as a chiropractor, would treat it http://www.drtchiro.com/TMJD.htm. Although pathology must also be ruled out, chiropractors would also refer to specialists in those circumstances, most TMJ problems are biomechanical in nature. This may be due to an abnormal bite (and repetitive trauma), an injury to the jaw or head and the adaptation of the movement pattern (gait), scar tissue formation and range of motion of the jaw.
