effective therapies

TMJ disorder affects each person differently. At Columbia Integrative Health in Columbia, MO, our expert team develops customized treatment plans, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities, such as:

Acupuncture is a highly effective treatment for relieving TMJ disorder symptoms by addressing both physical and energetic imbalances within the body. At Columbia Integrative Health in Columbia, MO, acupuncture treatments focus on targeting specific acupoints along the body’s meridian pathways, which helps release blocked energy (Qi) and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. When applied to the facial and jaw regions, acupuncture can alleviate TMJ pain by reducing inflammation, relaxing tense muscles, and improving joint mobility. Whether caused by teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, or stress, acupuncture provides both immediate relief and long-term benefits by addressing the root cause of discomfort.

Acupuncture also supports recovery by triggering the release of endorphins, the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals, which help patients experience significant reductions in pain. In addition to reducing inflammation and muscle tension, acupuncture helps restore optimal jaw alignment and function, promoting faster recovery from TMJ disorder. Patients often notice improvements after just a few sessions, making acupuncture an excellent holistic option for those looking to avoid medications or invasive procedures.

Trigger point acupuncture is a specialized technique that targets specific areas of tension in the muscles of the face, jaw, and neck to provide relief from TMJ disorder symptoms. By inserting fine needles into trigger points, our licensed acupuncturists at Columbia Integrative Health in Columbia, MO stimulate the release of tension, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote relaxation. This technique is particularly effective in addressing muscle imbalances and scar tissue that contribute to TMJ pain.

Trigger point acupuncture can also help reduce bruxism (teeth grinding), improve range of motion in the jaw, and enhance overall facial relaxation. By combining trigger point acupuncture with other therapies, patients can experience significant reductions in TMJ pain and improve their overall quality of life.
