TMJ Syndrome Treatment in Gwinnett

Are you looking for effective TMJ syndrome pain treatment and relief in the Gwinnett area? Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome or disorder involves the jaw joint, tendons and muscles that are needed for chewing. When the joint is dysfunctional, there may be chronic head pain and functional issues. TMJ syndrome can be caused by many different factors, making it essential to find the source of dysfunction. Medici Spine & Pain offers accurate diagnosis and treatment for TMJ disorders at our clinics in the Gwinnett County area.

TMJ syndrome occurs when there is some type of dysfunction in the jaw joint. The teeth may impact the jaw joint and cause TMJ if they are misaligned and put extra stress on the jaw. Orthodontics or dental work can repair teeth issues that affect alignment and put stress on the jaw. Wearing a dental mouthguard to relieve pressure on the joint at night can offer relief if a misalignment of the bite or teeth grinding is the cause of discomfort. However, there are other causes of TMJ syndrome that do not involve dental issues, including arthritis, inflamed tendons or other problems within the joint.

Symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)

Those with TMD can have a variety of symptoms, some that could be misdiagnosed as other issues. The most common symptoms are localized in the jaw area, with jaw or facial pain and a popping or clicking of the jaw when opening or closing. It can become difficult to chew, and the jaw can lock in place. However, someone with TMJ syndrome may not have symptoms in the jaw but have headaches or neck pain that are caused by the joint disorder.

Treatments for TMD may include dental work and dental devices, but if the problem is with the tendons or joint, you may need to see someone besides a dentist. Our pain physicians can offer treatment for arthritis of the jaw joint or inflammation that can offer relief. If you have TMJ syndrome and want to explore treatments for pain relief and improved function, contact Medici Spine & Pain to schedule a consultation and exam.

Donna

To Dr. Sonny and all the staff at Marietta: What a wonderful appointment I had at Medici for epidural injections! I can't say enough about Jana and Sarah and the gentleman in the back and front office personnel also. They were so caring and friendly; it was quite entertaining while waiting for my turn! They have such a pleasant camaraderie together and engage the patients in conversation too. They bring a very comfortable atmosphere to all. It sure helped pass the time and alleviate any anxiety one might have. The best part is I walked out with NO PAIN. However, later I realized that was mostly due to the local anesthesia... Ha, ha on me! I know it is a temporary fix, but I will enjoy it as long as it is effective. I thank all who I've been in touch with during this journey. You're all awesome at all locations!! P.S. Jana and Sarah: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME ON AND OFF THOSE NARROW TORTUOUS BEDS!!!! It was my biggest fear!!! Blessings to all...."I'll be back!!"

Dr. Geiger is heaven sent. After one visit hearing my story of dealing with 13 years of awful pain from shingles, she changed my medications. That night I started the new medications and have remained pain free. I still use lidocaine patches but the new medications have made All the difference. She's deeply caring for her patients and thorough in her questions and examination. Too bad I didn't know of her earlier. She has changed my life and I thank God everyday she's in my life. I can't find enough words to praise her skills and thank her for being my caregiver. Apparently she has recently moved here from Florida and we are glad to have her here.

Dr. Dosanjh Patient

Dr. Dosanjh is extremely knowledgeable in his specialty with remarkable knowledge of anatomy and the causes of pain. His ability to diagnose the cause of pain and then provide a complete set of progressive options for resolution is superb. His friendly demeanor enhances the doctor-patient relationship.

Everyone in this office is TERRIFIC. Starting from the front office checking in, and going into the room for my visit with dr. Sonny Dosanjh. Dr. Sonny is EXCELLENT he really cares about his patients, he listens to what I have to say, does not interrupt me, he is very concerned about what is going on with me and my health concerns. He really cares. I would highly recommend this office to anyone! They really care and they are genuine. My PCP recommended Dr. Sonny and I'm ever so grateful for that

Dr. Dosanjh Patient

Thoroughly appreciated the medical services provided by Dr. Dosanjh. Dr. Dosanjh is very confident in his patient care and concern. I would definitely refer others and have been telling others about my experience at Medici Spine & Pain both Kennesaw and Buckhead. I wish he took my insurance, as I have injuries not related to my work incident for which I was seeing Dr. Dosanjh. Thank you so very much, Dr. Dosanjh! The staff is warm, welcoming and cheerful and most helpful.

Meredith

Dr. Dosanjh is a very smart, caring doctor who is highly skilled in his field. He spends whatever time is necessary to "hear" his patients and to explain the proper and best results course of action. I have a very complicated head and neck injury, so it was essential to me to have someone who truly listened with undivided attention, and thought outside the box when necessary. His staff is exemplary. They could not be more helpful and thoughtful. Lucy in particular is a gift of sunshine.

Jill C.

Dr. Sonny is the best! He has done more for me in 2 months than my previous doctor did in 14 years! If you truly want to get out of pain, then contact Dr. Sonny immediately! I just cannot reiterate how incredible a doctor he is! For that matter, his entire staff is warm and inviting! And to top it off, as a patient you get free use of their amazing gym. Highly, highly, highly recommend Dr. Sonny!
