Relieve Tossing and Turning: TMJ & Sleep Therapy Solutions

At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of San Fernando Valley, we understand that restless nights filled with tossing and turning can be frustrating and exhausting. Often linked to issues like Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction or sleep-disordered breathing, these disruptions can prevent you from achieving deep, restorative sleep. Our dedicated team specializes in diagnosing and addressing the root causes of restless sleep, helping you enjoy peaceful, uninterrupted rest.

Understanding Tossing and Turning and TMJ

Restless sleep, characterized by frequent tossing and turning, can often be associated with TMJ disorders or sleep-related issues. TMJ dysfunction and airway obstructions can lead to discomfort and micro-arousals throughout the night, disrupting your sleep cycles. Common symptoms linked to TMJ-related tossing and turning include:

• Jaw discomfort or tension upon waking
• Grinding or clenching teeth during sleep (bruxism)
• Chronic headaches or neck pain that interfere with rest
• Difficulty maintaining a comfortable sleeping position
• Persistent fatigue, even after a full night’s sleep

Comprehensive Diagnosis for Restful Sleep

Our diagnostic process includes a thorough evaluation of your TMJ, airway health, and overall medical history. Using advanced imaging and sleep assessments, we identify the underlying causes of your restless nights. Whether your tossing and turning are due to TMJ disorders, sleep apnea, or other conditions, our approach ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

Personalized Treatment Plans for Restful Sleep

Once we identify the causes of your tossing and turning, we develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Our solutions may include:

• Orthotic Devices: Custom-made appliances to realign the jaw, reduce bruxism, and improve airway function.
• Myofunctional Therapy: Exercises that train proper oral posture and improve breathing patterns during sleep.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on sleep hygiene, diet, and stress management to enhance sleep quality.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Treatments like laser therapy (NightLase) to tighten soft tissues and improve airflow.
• Comprehensive TMJ Therapy: Addressing jaw misalignment, muscle tension, and other issues contributing to restless sleep.
