Articulatory technique for anterior disc dislocation
What are 2 components of the Respiratory/Circulatory model for TMJ Disease?
Pre/Post-auricular lymphatic drainage
Submandibular/Submental lymphatic drainage
What are 2 components of the Neurlogic model for TMJ Disease?
TMJ TP - release TP
Masseter TP - release TP
What are 2 components of the Metabolic/Energy model for TMJ Disease?
NSAIDs - reduce pain
Muscle relaxer - reduce tension on TMJ
What are 4 components of the Behavioral model for TMJ Disease?
Stop chewing gum/tobacco
Meditation - relieve stress
Eat soft foods
Mouth guard during sleep
What is the first area to screen for TMJ and what are the TART findings?
TMJ
Tenderness
Asymmetry
Jaw ROM
What is the second area to screen for TMJ and what are the TART findings?

What tests would you use to diagnose an SD at the TMJ in TMJ disease?
Open/close jaw - C/S shape
Palpate for clicking and TP
Assess symmetry of face
What tests would you use to diagnose an SD in the C-spine for TMJ disease?
Evaluate PTP’s for SB/R in N, F, E
C2-4 NRrSl
What Tx would you use to Tx a C-shape SD for TMJ disease and is it an indirect or direct Tx?
ME for C-shape
Direct
What Tx would you use to Tx a C-spine SD for TMJ disease and is it an indirect or direct Tx?
MFR to C-spine paraspinal muscles
Indirect
What is an OMM ANS Tx for TMJ disease?
Suboccipital release - normalize PNS tone
What is an OMM Lymphatic Tx for TMJ disease?
Mandibular drainage - increase lymphatic flow
