The webinar “ TMD Myalgia: Its not always about the joint” explore into the often overlooked muscular aspect of TMD, specially focusing on myalgia or muscle pain, rather than solely joint-related issues. TMD is commonly associated with the TMJ, But many patients experience chronic pain rooted in the surrounding muscles such as the masseter, temporalis, pterygoid muscles, sternocleomastiod and trapezius muscles. The session emphasizes the need for the a broader diagnostic approach that includes muscular assessment, understanding how muscle dysfunction, stress, myofascial pain syndrome, link between TMJ and body pain and other factors contribute to fascial pain and discomfort. By recognizing that TMD myalgia extends beyond the joint problems, clinicians can develop more effective, individualized treatment plans, combining therapies like physical therapy, TENS therapeutic ultrasound therapy, stress reduction protocol, and targeted exercises for lasting relief.
