Recent modalities in the diagnosis and treatment of TMD

Because the TMJ is a superficial joint (without tissue blocking access to it), cold laser therapy is able to penetrate deep into the joint to reduce inflammation. Then there's manual therapy, which works the muscles and soft tissue structures of the neck and jaw to reduce TMJ pain and reduce muscle adhesions. he ELIBA device is able to significantly reduce TMD-associated myogenous pain and to promote the enhancement of sEMG/KNG values. Practical Implications. ELIBA can be considered as a new device, potentially useful for head-neck pain relief in patients suffering from chronic TMD.
