Temporomandibular joint dysfunction or disorder (TMJD) is a condition that problems arising from jaw movements. According to the 2018 National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the prevalence of TMJD is between 5% and 12%. It is at least twice as prevalent in women as men while the rates of TMJD are higher among younger persons.

What is TMJ
什麼是顳顎關節?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint connecting jawbone to our skull. It allows jaw movements in several directions including depression, elevation, lateral deviation, retrusion and protrusion. The mobility of jaw is achieved by a number of muscles and ligaments working together to facilitate chewing and talking.
顳顎關節將顎骨連接到我們的頭骨。 它允許下顎作多方向運動，包括下沉、上抬、橫向偏差、後縮和前伸。 下顎的活動如咀嚼和說話，須通過許多肌肉和韌帶協同來實現。
Major muscles involved 涉及的主要肌肉:
Temporalis, Superior and Deep Masseter, Lateral pterygoid, Medial pterygoid
Nerve associated with 相關神經:
Trigeminal nerve (mandibular branch)
三叉神經（下顎分支）

breathing pattern, stress management -
To advise and discuss treatment plan
評估目標

Treatment
治療
Our noninvasive and gentle treatment techniques can relax soft tissues around the jaw including muscles, ligaments and fascia. We help patients regain normal range of jaw movement, reduce jaw popping and pain. Patients usually feel immediate relieve after the first treatment session. We strengthen and stimulate the "lazy" muscles while softening "exhausted" structures to reconstruct a balanced and healthy-functioning jaw.
我們非入侵性的治療技術可以放鬆下頜周圍的軟組織，包括肌肉、韌帶和筋膜。 我們幫助患者恢復正常的下頜運動範圍，
減少下頜爆裂和疼痛。 患者通常會在第一次治療後立即感到緩解。 我們加強和刺激“懶惰”的肌肉，
同時軟化 “用盡”結構重建平衡和健康功能的下巴。
