Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain, improper chewing, jaw stiffness, tooth damage, and more. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, between 11 and 12 million Americans suffer from the symptoms associated with a temporomandibular disorder (TMD) yet only about half seek treatment.

How Infrared Light TMJ Therapy Works in Our Clinic in Manhattan
Mitochondria, the “power generators” of your cells, soak up infrared light, which helps make more energy (ATP). This increased energy helps the cells repair themselves and become healthier. Healing in skin and muscle tissue is stimulated.
Anyone who suffers from TMJ discomfort or experiences clicking and jaw tenderness may enjoy the benefits and comfort from this healing therapy.

Benefits of Infrared Light TMJ Therapy
Not all light is created equal. Infrared Light TMJ Therapy (810-880 nm) penetrates the body deeper than red light therapy, going into the soft tissues, muscles, joints, tendons, teeth, gums, and bones.
Your eyes will not see this light, but your body will feel the light as heat. There are no damaging UV rays. Your skill will not be burned.
Benefits of Infrared Light TMJ Therapy for TMD:
Accelerates cellular repair
Decreases inflammation
Reduces joint pain
Stimulates blood circulation (for delivery of protein and oxygen essential for recovery and healing)
This infrared LED light has a wavelength between 610-850 nm and penetrates deep within the skin…all the way down to the hypodermis layer
Our light heats the skin area up to 107 degrees Fahrenheit. It is warming, soothing, and painless
People with TMD experience less pain, clicking, and jaw tenderness after infrared LED light treatments.
