DESCRIPTION

You will be able to recognize the three most common causes of TMD seen within the chiropractic practice. We will outline various types of pain referral sources to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Evaluation the cervical spine and TMJ using physical examination procedures, compare and contrast TMD with cervicogenic headache will be discussed. Attendees will be able to distinguish the difference between anterior disc displacements with and without reduction, and have greater knowledge of standard imaging processes ordered for specific TMJ conditions.
