Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause significant discomfort, affecting daily activities like eating and speaking. If you are suffering from TMJ pain, corticosteroid injections offer a nonsurgical solution to help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. At Reno Facial Pain & Sleep Group, Dr. Mina Faiek provides expert care to address TMJ disorders using this effective treatment option.
How TMJ Corticosteroid Injections Work
Corticosteroid injections are designed to target inflammation in the TMJ, which is often the root cause of pain and restricted jaw movement. When injected into the joint, corticosteroids help to:
- Reduce inflammation and swelling in the joint area
- Alleviate pain associated with TMJ disorders
- Improve jaw function and mobility
- Minimize the need for invasive treatments
The injection is administered directly into the affected joint, allowing for quick relief from the discomfort that TMJ disorders can cause. This minimally invasive treatment can significantly improve your quality of life, especially if you experience chronic TMJ issues.
Who Can Benefit From TMJ Corticosteroid Injections?
Patients who suffer from moderate to severe TMJ-related pain and have not found relief through conservative treatments may be good candidates for corticosteroid injections. These injections can be particularly beneficial for individuals who experience:
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
- Chronic jaw pain and stiffness
- Persistent headaches caused by TMJ inflammation
We will carefully evaluate your condition and medical history to determine if corticosteroid injections are the right treatment for you. This personalized approach ensures that each patient receives the care that best suits their unique needs.
