TMJ

TMJ disorder is one of many medical conditions that we here at Therapeutic Solutions LLC help to treat. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) provides a connection between the upper and lower jaw. Some of our patients have problems with this joint, a condition known as TMJ disorder. We offer treatment solutions for TMJ in order to offer our patients relief and comfort.
If you are experiencing one or more of the following symptoms, you may be suffering from TMJ disorder:

•  Locking of the jaw when it is opened or closed.
• Pain when opening the mouth, chewing, or yawning.
• Pain or tenderness in the jaw muscles.
• Consistent headaches or ear aches, particularly after waking up.
• Grinding or clenching the teeth frequently.
• Hearing clicking or popping when opening the mouth.

Dr. Christopher Brill offers a variety of treatments in our Newport News chiropractic office for TMJ disorder. These include teaching proper relaxation techniques for the jaw, prescribing anti-inflammatory or muscle relaxant medications, and providing adjustments and massage. Combined, these treatments are very effective in treating TMJ and the associated disorder. With proper balance of all the body’s systems and joints, conditions like TMJ often become less of a problem for our patients.

Bursitis

Many of our patients visit our chiropractic office here in Newport News because of pain in their shoulder or elbows. This is often the result of a condition called bursitis, which occurs when the pads cushioning the bones and tendons, called bursae, become inflamed.

Bursitis happens most often in the shoulders, hip and elbow, but it can also affect other parts of the body, like the heel or knee. While bursitis can go away on its own, Dr. Christopher Brill recommends patients visit him to get quicker treatment and relief.

The main symptom for bursitis is pain in the affected area, though loss of motion and frozen shoulder also occurs. Treatments provided here at Therapeutic Solutions LLC for bursitis are varied and based on our patient’s comfort level and how severe their pain is.

Treatments for bursitis include adjustments and manipulations, therapeutic massage, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections for reducing inflammation. We also offer recommendations for proper diet and regular exercise. Surgery is usually only needed in severe cases where the bursae needs to be drained.
If you suspect that you or a loved one has bursitis and you are interested inscheduling an appointment, please call Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center at 757-873-4131 or feel free to visit us on our website atwww.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com.

Workers Compensation

Workers compensation issues are very common. According to the Occupation Health and Safety Administration, close to four million people are injured on the job each year. Injuries on the job can range from minor to severe and may not only affect your ability to work, but also your overall quality of life.

At Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we are experienced at working with patients who have workers compensation issues. Injuries on the job can vary greatly, but common injuries often involve the back and neck. Whether you have already tried convention treatment or not, chiropractic care can be an excellent alternative in order to treat your condition.

We believe in treating the underlying condition, not just masking symptoms temporarily. Chiropractic care can treat the cause of your condition and help your body heal itself. In addition, chiropractic care can treat injuries without the use of pain medication, which can have many unwanted side effects.

Getting injured on the job can be difficult to deal with and leave you feeling overwhelmed. If you have had an injury at work, consider getting an initial chiropractic evaluation to determine available options.

For more information on treating injuries on the job or in order to schedule an appointment, please call Therapeutic Solutions LLC, Chiropractic and Wellness Center at 757-873-4131 or you can feel free to visit us on our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com.

Yours in Good Health,
