MUSCLE/MYOFASCIAL PAIN DYSFUNCTION
Myofascial pain is a chronic and sometimes severe form of pain, affecting the muscles in the face, neck, and back. It may cause stiffness, tightness, tenderness, popping or clicking, limited movement, difficulty chewing, muscle twitches, spasms, weakness, and/or headaches - often severe enough to significantly interfere with everyday life. Bruxism, or grinding of the teeth, and temporomandibular joint disorders may be causes of the pain. However, chronic myofascial pain is a complex problem that requires accurate diagnosis and treatment.
You may be suffering from myofascial pain if you feel pain with trigger or tender points, although those points may not actually be the cause of pain. FCLA uses a multidisciplinary approach with several different medical specialists to precisely diagnose the causes unique to your case and prescribe the most effective treatment.

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DISORDERS
Temporomandibular joint disorders describe a group of problems involving the temporomandibular - or 'jaw' - joints as well as the muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and other tissues associated with them.
When the TMJ and its associated tissues are working as they should, you can open your mouth, talk, yawn, and chew. When there is a problem, you may suffer face and neck pain, stiffness, limited jaw movement, or aggravating and sometimes painful pops or clicks when you open your jaw.
Doctors at FCLA have more than 25 years of individual experience treating patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
