Treatment
CMD treatment in Crimmitschau
Treatment for jaw joint problems, from grinding and headaches to a tense neck. With a prescription or without.
When CMD treatment helps.
CMD stands for craniomandibular dysfunction: the jaw joint, the chewing muscles and the neck have fallen out of step with each other. The symptoms often show up far away from the jaw, as headaches, neck tension or ringing in the ears. Treatment uses targeted hands-on work on the jaw joint and muscles, techniques for the neck, and exercises for home. It often runs alongside splint therapy at the dentist.
Common reasons
- Jaw joint clicks or hurts
- Teeth grinding and clenching, often at night
- Headache and facial pain
- Tension in the neck and shoulders
- Restricted mouth opening
- Alongside splint therapy at the dentist
How a treatment works.
01
Assessment
At the first appointment I look at the jaw joint, the chewing muscles and the neck together, and ask about grinding, headaches and everyday strain.
02
Treatment
Targeted hands-on work at the jaw joint and chewing muscles, plus techniques for the neck.
03
For home
You take home jaw and neck exercises that make the difference between appointments.
Billing
With a prescription
With a prescription from your GP or specialist I bill your health insurer directly. The statutory co-payment applies unless you are exempt. A prescription usually covers six sessions.
Without a prescription
Without a prescription you can be treated as a private patient. You receive the price before your first appointment, in writing and with no surprises.
