TMD PATIENTS SUCCESS SPOTLIGHTS My pain had resolved and I could fully open my mouth!
“My dentist, Dr. Haselton, referred me to Brooks Steadman for treatment of pain in my temporomandibular joint area. At the time I had limited ability to fully open my mouth and was experiencing significant discomfort in the area. I was impressed with Brooks’ skills and manner. After 6 physical therapy sessions my pain had resolved and I could fully open my mouth. I was so impressed with Brooks’ competency that I now see him for hip pain. I recommend Brooks without hesitation.” - Patricia P.
Have greatly improved the quality of life I experience!
“I began treatment based on an assumption that the headaches I experienced at night were fromTMD. My dentist referred me to Brooks Steadman for treatment. While TMD ultimately was not the only cause for the headaches, it was a one of them. For years I have been unable to find anything that would ameliorate the discomfort. But through Brooks’ skill and extensive knowledge, not only are the occurrences of the headaches significantly reduced, the severity of the headaches are usually markedly less than they have been. I find I can continue to sleep whereas before I would have to stay awake until the discomfort dissipated. That usually took the rest of the night! Eventually I learned that I have bulging discs pressing on my cervical spine. This is not treatable in this manner, but Brooks is able to relieve the symptoms while I seek out medical treatments. During this whole process, Brooks located these wonderful trigger points. I did not realize how they impacted my life until Brooks taught me about them, and started to treat them. It turned out they had impacts on my physical, emotional, and mental well being. His application of dry needling, along with the techniques applied with his hands, have greatly improved the quality of life I experience. Having been through the techniques generally applied through various exercises by many other Physical Therapy centers, I can tell you I will not waste my time with those again. There may be a role for that sort of treatment, but I know the treatments from Brooks have been far more helpful at improving my ability to perform daily activities than any physical therapy exercises. My wife had been talking to me about these types of services for years, and I pooh poohed her. I did not think it would be beneficial for me. That was a blunder on my part. If I had been a little smarter and started this sooner, I could have saved myself from a lot of unnecessary discomfort and anguish.” - Rodd W.
