The head, jaw and neck region is one of the most complicated areas of the human body. A delicate inter-relationship exists between muscles, nerves and joints. When a disorder develops, too often the pain manifests itself in ways that seem unrelated, such as headaches, neck aches, facial pain, and problems with opening and closing the mouth. As sufferers know, the most common symptom is pain: unexplained and persistent.

As a patient, you are ensured that you are receiving a complete and comprehensive approach to your problem. Your practitioners work with you, and work with each other, to solve both simple and complex problems. Moreover, you are given the skills and opportunity to participate in your own relief and recovery.

A dedicated team of healthcare professionals from the fields of medicine, dentistry, psychology, and physical therapy develop individualized treatment programs for each of our patients. Our providers also devote time outside their practice, to write, teach and study this area of medicine in order to provide only the highest level of care.
