FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain is among the specialized treatments offered at the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of New Orleans. We prioritize uncovering the underlying causes of your symptoms, providing effective, non-invasive solutions aimed at promoting enduring health and comfort.
Chronic pain is identified when it persists beyond the typical healing time—usually longer than 3 months. It often involves sensitized nerves, muscle imbalances, and established habits. By focusing on mechanics (TMJ, posture, respiratory techniques), soothing tissues (using laser therapy, trigger point therapy), and reeducating habits, many patients experience significant improvements without the need for surgery.
The timeframe for noticing changes varies among individuals. However, many patients report initial relief within 2 to 6 weeks as muscle tension decreases and their quality of sleep improves. More sustained improvements generally take 6 to 12 weeks as joint loading normalizes and new home routines are established.
Typically, no. Our objective is to lessen the reliance on daily medications by addressing the root causes of pain. As inflammation diminishes and mechanics enhance, many patients can reduce their medication under the supervision of their physician while finding relief through conservative therapies and straightforward lifestyle changes.
Pain recurrence often indicates a trigger, such as increased stress, changes in posture, clenching, or disturbances in sleep. We will work to pinpoint these patterns, update your home care plan, and if necessary, incorporate short booster treatments to help you regain your progress swiftly.
Absolutely. Overloading the TMJ and clenching can lead to referred pain in the temples, ears, and neck area. Stabilizing the jaw joints and relieving trigger points can significantly alleviate headaches and discomfort in the neck and shoulders, enhancing overall function and sleep quality.
