TMJ
Dr. David Cohen is successful at treating TMJ because he’s not just “working on the jaw” — he’s finding what’s driving the jaw dysfunction and correcting it.
Here are the main reasons:
1) He treats the ROOT cause, not just symptoms
Most TMJ pain is coming from things like:
- bite imbalance / clenching
- neck misalignment
- muscle imbalance (jaw, head, neck)
- stress + nervous system tensionDr. David Cohen looks for why the jaw is overloaded.
2) He evaluates the entire system (jaw + neck + posture)
TMJ almost always involves:
- upper cervical spine (C1/C2)
- tight traps, SCM, temporalis, masseter
- forward head postureFixing the neck and posture often reduces jaw pressure fast.
3) Applied kinesiology + muscle testing makes it targeted
Instead of guessing, he uses muscle testing to locate:
- weak/overactive muscles
- imbalanced joint mechanics
- nervous system stress patternsThat makes treatment more specific and effective.
4) Energy balancing reduces tension quickly
TMJ has a big stress component. By calming the nervous system and reducing facial muscle guarding, the jaw can “let go.”
5) Low-Level Laser Therapy speeds up healing + reduces inflammation
Low-Level Laser Therapy helps with:
- inflammation in the TMJ area
- muscle tightness
- tissue healing and pain relief
So patients often feel improvement faster.
6) He personalizes nutrition + supplements when needed
TMJ can be worsened by:
- inflammation
- mineral deficiencies (like magnesium)
- poor sleep and stress hormonesHe addresses those too, which make results are more lasting.
