She has also done work on tmj pain management with the help of TENS Therapy and occlusal splint therapy.
How does a TENS unit work to relieve TMJ pain? TENS units work by sending a mild electrical current through electrodes placed on the affected area. These electrical currents help reduce pain by stimulating nerve fibres in the affected area, which can decrease muscle spasms and reduce inflammation.
Occlusal splint therapy is the foundation of and an integral part of a comprehensive TMJ treatment plan. It is the primary and most important therapeutic device for many TMJ conditions. Splints may be used for stabilizing the bite, for treatment of temporomandibular disorders, or to prevent wear and trauma to the dentition.
