Numerous physical therapy treatments are effective for managing headaches and TMD. Symptoms will vary between patients, thus, treatment programs must be individualized to address each patient’s needs. We will work with dentists and doctors to ensure that the patient receives the best care and recovery possible.
Your physical therapist will assess the range and quality of motion at your neck, your upper back, and your jaw (your temporomandibular joint) along with your strength and posture. Goals for treatment include to reduce pain and muscle spasms, improve inflammation, increase range of motion, improve posture, and increase cervical and jaw mobility. Prevention and treatment of headaches and TMD includes therapeutic exercise, postural training, myofascial release, stretching, joint mobilization, and ultrasound.
You are all AMAZING!!! Amber and Jolene are the best! When Abbie became injured 1 1/2 years ago in dance- something she loved to do, she went through 3 doctors, another physical therapists, many painful procedures and finally found a Dr. Hedlund who sent us to Hulst Jepsen where she was blessed with 2 amazing therapist and their staff! Abbie thought she may never dance again! She had many ups and downs in her therapy but no one ever gave up on her. They always listened to her and helped her do her best! Now she has finished her therapy, is starting dance again in a few weeks, is auditioning for the Nutcracker and her dance team at school!!!
