Relieve Pain with Electricity
Yes, the idea seems a bit unorthodox; treating pain with electricity. But in actuality the Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) is a safe and effective way to combat pain associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ/TMD).
TENS is a device that has been successfully used for more than three decades. It works by administering an electrical current that relaxes the muscles and allows your jaw to fall into its optimal resting position. TENS works immediately; the minute it is applied the pain relief begins.
If you do suffer from TMD, you will probably find TENS to play a significant role in your treatment plan. Dental appliances can be used to move your jaw into its ideal position, but that is a process and takes time. TENS is the way to enjoy instantaneous pain relief that can last for hours.
If you are suffering from TMD and you live in the San Antonio area, please contact neuromuscular dentist Dr. Brian Hale. We can help you determine if TENS is right for you. Please call today to set up your consultation.
