Acupuncture And How It Works For TMJ Pain
What is TMJ?
One of the most frustrating things in the world is not being able to participate in life’s most enjoyable activities because of debilitating TMJ pain.
TMJ is the Temporo Mandibular Joint that connects the jaw to the skull. There is a TMJ in front of each ear. These highly used joints facilitate the movements needed for speaking, eating and facial expression.
TMJ dysfunction is experienced by a lot of people and can cause pain, abnormal jaw movements and joint noises.

TMJ Treatment With The TACU Method
We provide comprehensive treatment for TMJ pain and symptoms using the TACU Method we have developed. The TACU Method incorporates specific acupuncture, medicinal herbs and self-help coaching to provide immediate and long-lasting relief for TMJ pain and symptoms.
TMJ Acupuncture
The TACU method treats very specific points on the face to stimulate or relax specific facial nerves, muscles and joints. It also improves neck movement and function as the neck is often implicated in TMJ problems. And don’t worry – the needles we use are very thin and very smooth and while you’ll barely feel them, they do a very good job at treating the finer structures of the face.
TMJ Herbs
We use high-strength medicinal herbs to reduce tension, pain and inflammation. Tension from stress is a very common cause of TMJ problems and our herbs can do wonders for this.
TMJ Self-Help
We teach you some very specific exercises, stretching and breathing techniques to not only help you get faster relief from symptoms, but to help ensure that you get long-lasting relief – even well after you’ve completed your treatment with us. This is all included with your treatment.
What is TMJ Treatment Time
We will assess your particular situation at your Initial TMJ Pain Relief Appointment and provide your first treatment. Based on how you respond to treatment, we will then let you know what we think will be required to get you feeling more like yourself again.
Dr Sandra Wu and Dr Jesse Georgiadis are Doctors of Chinese Medicine and Board-certified Acupuncturists. Sandra and Jessie have a special interest in TMJ pain relief, are certified in the TACU Method to help people chew, yawn and laugh again without pain.
