Therapy for Dental Patients and Dentists
Medical massage therapy can help patients suffering
from Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction, headaches,
teeth grinding, neck stiffness, neck pain and Bells
Palsy.
Some
Benefits of Massage Therapy for Dental Patients
- Increased
movement in the jaw and neck. Massage relaxes the
muscles and removes pain associated with movement.
- Reduced
frequency and strength of headaches through improved
circulation and relief of muscle tension.
- Heal
faster. Massage improves circulation which promotes
healing.
- Pain
relief. Massage releases muscle tension and contraction
by stretching the fascia.
- Increases
circulation which softens fascia, cleanses tissues
and promotes healing.
- May
result in complete relief from muscular TMJ.
- May
result in some relief from structural TMJ.
- Patients
learn how to work on themselves to provide relief
when needed.
Fitting
Patients with a Splint or Jaw Repositioner
You'll achieve the best fitting for a splint or jaw
repositioner when the surrounding muscles are as relaxed
as possible. Medical massage therapy can help relax
the patients muscles so that a proper fitting can be
made.
Relief
for Dentists
Dentists, come in for a refreshing, stress relieving
massage. The constant stress of a dental practice can
build to unhealthy levels causing frustration, premature
aging and even depression. You session can include massage
specially developed for dentists that targets your arms
and relieves the stress of holding them up all day as
you work on patients.
