Frequently Asked Questions
What is TMJ disorder?
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder refers to a group of conditions causing pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking sounds, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth.
Why is TMJ often misdiagnosed?
TMJ symptoms like headaches and ear pain overlap with many other conditions. Without specialized knowledge, it's commonly treated as migraine, ear infection or cervical pain — leaving the root cause unaddressed.
What treatments are available?
Treatment ranges from conservative approaches (splint therapy, physiotherapy, medication) to minimally invasive procedures depending on severity. Dr. Balamurugan will recommend the most appropriate option after evaluation.
How long does treatment take?
Duration varies by severity. Many patients experience significant relief within weeks of starting the right treatment. A proper diagnosis first is the most important step.
Do you see patients from outside Erode?
Yes. We regularly see patients from Coimbatore, Tirupur, Salem, Namakkal and beyond. Many travel specifically for Dr. Balamurugan's TMJ expertise.
