Want to stay up-to-date on industry trends?
During this Lunch & Learn, TMJology introduces how services such as TMJ and intraoral massage, full-body integrated manual therapy, neuromuscular therapy, self-guided programs, and provider mentorships can support and complement your existing practice.
I also understand how challenging it can be to coordinate a full team for a one-hour Lunch & Learn. To make this information more accessible, I’ve created a video overview that walks through the services I offer and how they may benefit your practice and patients.
If, after watching the video, you’d like to explore these options further or have specific questions, we can schedule a discovery call to discuss your needs, review potential fit, and determine next steps.
Designed for hygienists and dentists who want to improve clinical insight into muscular contributors to TMJ and jaw pain and incorporate manual therapy in the dental chair.
What Participants Will Learn
Common trigger point patterns associated with TMJ and jaw pain
How muscular dysfunction may present despite normal exams and imaging

Through guided discussion and hands-on learning, providers gain greater awareness of how muscular dysfunction may present clinically when traditional dental findings are inconclusive.
