The practice focuses on a holistic and collaborative approach to treatment, working with patients and their entire team of providers. They are dedicated to finding the source of a patient's pain and creating a personalized treatment plan. Services provided include the diagnosis and treatment of TMJ disorders, which can manifest as jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, and other chronic discomforts.

Rochester TMJ Therapy emphasizes the importance of a proper diagnosis, utilizing a comprehensive approach that may include a medical history review, physical examination, and advanced diagnostic tests.

These may include the use of oral appliances (orthotics or splints) to help relax jaw muscles and reduce pain, as well as recommendations for self-care treatments like resting the jaw, eating soft foods, and stress management techniques. The clinic also works to protect teeth from wear and tear caused by clenching or grinding.
