Here are some of the exciting new therapeutic methods Dr. Jerry Mulder and Dr. Allyson Mulder have available to help patients suffering from TMJ disorder find relief.
Ever heard the old saying that “you are what you eat?” Medical science continues to come to the consensus that the food choices you make play a pivotal role in your overall health and well-being. Nutrition therapy is one of the newest services offered at TMJ & Sleep Disorders of Michigan for managing TMJ, and the primary goal is to lower inflammation in the body.
We suggest starting with the following list of healthy snacks, all of which will reduce inflammation throughout the body, including the jaw joints.
TMJ & Sleep Disorders of Michigan also recommends limiting or eliminating consumption of sugar and dairy. Both can cause inflammation, while dairy products also are high in salicylates, which can aggravate an existing case of TMJ disorder.
