My fiancé & I was in an accident on 4/16/2024 and since we started treatment at the clinic the staff has been very helpful. They’re very professional, polite& efficient. Dr. Roberts always make sure that she ask us if we’re ok before and after treatment. She also makes sure that we clearly understand the process and answers any question’s or concerns that we may have. I would recommend her to anyone that needs proper treatment after an injury.

Questions About Jaw Evaluations

What happens during a TMJ treatment evaluation?

Advanced Injury Care Clinic starts with muscle palpation, then checks jaw movement, bite function, and range. The evaluation also covers your symptoms and medical history. Findings help shape the next care step, which may include diagnostic testing or an individualized treatment plan. You’ll receive an explanation of what the assessment means for your jaw and related neck symptoms.

How does muscle palpation affect the jaw assessment?

Muscle palpation shows where jaw muscles feel tender, tight, or painful during the examination. Those findings add context to bite analysis and range testing. Our team compares the muscle response with your symptoms and movement pattern. This helps separate muscle strain from concerns that need a different type of medical review.

Which records should I bring to my first jaw consultation?

Your injury history, medical records, and details about current symptoms can help our team assess jaw concerns. Bring diagnostic reports if you have them, along with a list of medicines or prior care. Forest Hills patients can also explain when symptoms began and whether an accident, clenching, chewing, or neck pain affects them.

When is jaw care the right fit for limited movement?

Jaw care fits limited movement when the symptoms relate to jaw function, muscle tension, bite changes, or joint irritation. Our team checks those factors during the evaluation. If the findings point to another condition, we explain that concern and discuss the next appropriate medical step instead of forcing a jaw-focused plan.

Why might jaw symptoms continue after an injury?

Jaw symptoms can continue when muscle strain, bite changes, restricted movement, or related neck symptoms remain after an injury. The evaluation looks at these factors together. We also review your injury history and medical records, so the plan addresses the current pattern instead of relying on pain location alone.

What changes the cost of an evaluation?

The evaluation needs, diagnostic testing, symptoms, and recommended care plan can change the cost. A free consultation lets our medical team discuss your concerns before care is recommended. Ask which parts of the assessment are included and whether testing is clinically indicated for your symptoms.
