Symptoms may include lack of muscular control of the eye, nose, and mouth. In addition, patients may experience pain and hypersensitivity of the face and scalp. Physical therapy interventions focus on symptom management as well as facilitating muscle re-education of impaired movements to restore facial appearance quickly. *Temporomandibular Joint Disorder – Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder is the symptomatic impairment of the joint that connects the jaw bone to the skull. The cause of this disorder is typically multi-factorial but often combines muscle imbalances with poor posture and improper eating habits. Symptoms frequently include jaw popping or clicking, painful jaw opening/closing and eating, and mal-occlusion or teeth grinding. Associated symptoms may include headaches, ear ringing, or jaw fatigue. Physical therapy can address the origins of TMJ problems through the use of manual techniques to relax muscle tension, re-educate proper posture, and restore normal hinging mechanics to the jaw. Short term use of therapeutic modalities can lessen symptoms to speed recovery. *Nutrition Consulation – As a complement to our rehabilitative services and metabolic programs, on site nutritional counseling is also available. *Community Workshops and Seminars – In addition to clinical treatment, Western Berks Physical Therapy provides workshops and seminars to organizations, clubs and small groups on a range of topics.
