What the procedure involves.
TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing jaw pain, clicking, locking, and headaches through a combination of splint therapy, Botox injections, physical therapy, and in severe cases, arthroscopic surgery. Chinese hospitals offer comprehensive TMJ programs combining traditional and modern approaches, including acupuncture as adjunctive therapy. Multi-disciplinary care at Chinese medical centers costs a fraction of equivalent treatment in the West.
