Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) massage is a neuromuscular treatment that specifically targets muscles and anatomical structures affected by TMD disorder. TMD massage is sometimes also referred to as TMJ massage. Many dentists and oral doctors recommend TMD massage to help their patients regain balance with muscles associated with TMD. TMD massage can also be applied for people who suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding) and jaw tensing.

TMD massage focuses solely on the jaw, neck, head and upper back.

A key component of this therapy is intraoral massage; which invloves a sterile, gloved technique for massaging the interior musculature of the mouth including the masseter muscle, located at the jaw, and the pterygoid muscles, which are instrumental in the movement of the jaw.

TMD therapy includes extraocular massage; utilizing a cotton swab to gently massage muscles surrounding the eye including lateral rectus, superior oblique and fascia that supports the trigeminal nerve; one of the main nerves responsible for facial sensation and motor functions in the jaw.

For people who test positive for TMD dysfunction, it is highly recommended to schedule several TMD massage sessions for optimal results. Additionally, those with strong out-of-network health insurance benefits should verify whether these treatments are covered under their policy.
