Founded in 1975, The Atlanta Center for Cranio-Facial Pain and TMJ Disorders (Atlanta TMJ Center) offers more than 30 years of experience in diagnosing and treating TMD patients with conservative therapy. Dr. Alvin Siegel and his assistant, Linda Robinson, are committed to excellence in the diagnosis and management of TMD to provide patients with relief and resolution. At The Center, we treat TMD with proven, conservative, non-surgical therapy. Each patient's treatment plan is individualized and may include any of the following:
- explanation and counseling
- oral appliances to stabilize muscle and joint structure
- soft diet
- medications to curb pain and inflammation, ease muscle tension, and reduce emotional stress
- physical therapy
- physiotherapy (warm, moist heat; facial massages; vapor coolant sprays; etc.)
- muscle injections
- occlusal modification
