My Experience with TMD

I know firsthand what it feels like to deal with years of TMJ pain. There were times when I began to lose hope that the pain would ever truly go away. Then I found Lynch TMJ Health.

I personally started experiencing bilateral TMJ pain following some orthodontic work 15 years ago. It began with slight popping and clicking in the joint accompanied by pain. The pain elevated and I noticed my jaw would sublux daily and cause severe headaches. Discomfort became so acute, I spent much of my time on an all-soft food diet. Jaw pain is very debilitating as we require the use of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) when eating, breathing and speaking...all important motions of daily life. Desperately seeking treatment over the years from various avenues including a chiropractor, licensed massage therapist, oral and facial pain specialist, oral surgeon and dentist, I eventually stumbled upon Lynch TMJ Health.

“There were times when I began to lose hope that the pain would ever truly go away. Then I found Lynch TMJ Health.”

Even with my experience working as a therapist, I was unfamiliar with physical therapy as an option for the treatment of TMJ pain. Within a few sessions at Lynch TMJ Health my pain had significantly decreased, and I was eating normally again. I was immediately intrigued at my first visit and wanted to learn the specialized treatments of TMD so I could help others who are suffering as I had for many years. Shortly after my treatment ended, I began extensive training under direct supervision of owner, Ryan Lynch. I felt privileged to be able to train with one of only three Certified Cervical and Temporomandibular Therapists in the state of Maryland. I am extremely excited to be a part of this therapy team as I can personally relate to the struggles of jaw pain. I love having the opportunity to help others recover as well as spreading the word that TMD physical therapy works!
