J5 Myomonitor (Tens)

This small, battery operated unit is invaluable in TMD diagnosis and treatment to help determine exactly where your jaw should be at rest. Sensors attach to certain locations on the head, face, neck and shoulders. Then while you relax in a comfortable chair, the unit delivers a mild electrical stimulation to the muscles in those locations, mimicking the pulsing action of a massage. After 45 to 60 minutes, those muscles are extremely relaxed, perhaps for the first time in years. This relaxes you jaw and tells us where its correct position is.

This not only alleviates any discomfort but also enables us to create a custom mouthpiece called an orthotic that will support your jaw into this comfortable position either throughout the day or when you are sleeping.
