ABOUT PAIN & SLEEP

TMJ & SLEEP THERAPY CENTRE OF SAN FERNANDO VALLEY

Many of us struggle to fall asleep or to feel well-rested after sleep. Most adults will experience some kind of sleep difficulty in their lifetime. Some of these sleep disorder cases are caused by underlying pain that makes it hard to get a good night’s sleep. Another cause of sleep disorders is breathing disorders that interrupt sleep and can even make sleeping a dangerous activity. If you think you are experiencing TMJ pain or sleep apnea, contact our team to schedule an appointment.
