Understanding Chronic Pain
Chronic pain persists beyond normal healing time and often overlaps multiple systems—joints, muscles, and nerves—while stress and poor sleep keep the cycle going. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas City, we identify the drivers behind your pain and tailor non-surgical therapies that calm irritation, restore function, and help you get your life back.
When To Seek This Treatment
TMJ Dysfunction & Bite Imbalance
Overloaded jaw joints and clenching can refer pain to the temples, face, and neck.
Myofascial Trigger Points
Tight, overworked muscles in the jaw, neck, and shoulders refer pain to surrounding regions.
Irritated pathways (including SPG involvement) can amplify headaches and facial pain.
Nerve Overactivity
Forward head posture and mouth breathing increase strain on the neck and jaw.
Forward head posture and mouth breathing increase strain on the neck and jaw.
Prior Injury & Stress

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain is one of the specialized services we provide at the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas City. Our focus is on identifying the root causes behind your symptoms and delivering safe, non-surgical solutions that support long-term health and comfort.
Pain is considered chronic when it lasts longer than expected tissue healing—often 3 months or more. It frequently involves sensitized nerves, muscle imbalance, and habit patterns. By addressing mechanics (TMJ, posture, breathing), calming tissues (laser, trigger point therapy), and retraining habits, many patients achieve major improvements without surgery.
Timelines vary, but many patients feel early relief within 2–6 weeks as muscle tension eases and sleep quality improves. More durable gains typically develop over 6–12 weeks as joint loading normalizes and home routines take effect.
Not usually. Our goal is to reduce dependence on daily medications by treating root causes. As inflammation lowers and mechanics improve, many patients taper under their physician’s guidance and maintain comfort with conservative care and simple habits.
Recurrence often signals a trigger—stress spikes, posture changes, clenching, or sleep disruptions. We’ll identify patterns, refresh your home plan, and, if needed, add short booster treatments to get you back on track quickly.
Yes. TMJ overload and clenching often refer pain to the temples, ears, and neck. Stabilizing the joints and releasing trigger points can significantly reduce headaches and neck/shoulder discomfort, improving overall function and sleep.
