TMJ Therapy
TMD/TMJ Therapy in Reno, NV
Relief from Jaw Pain, Clenching & Chronic Headaches
At The Finishing Touch, we offer several options for TMD/TMJ pain in Reno, NV — offering powerful, non-surgical relief for patients suffering from jaw tension, teeth grinding, and chronic headaches.
BOTOX for TMJ/TMD Treatment
When most people think of BOTOX, they think of wrinkle treatment.
If you live with jaw pain, tightness, or migraines caused by clenching or bruxism, BOTOX may provide long-lasting relief without surgery or invasive procedures.
EMFACE for TMJ/TMD Treatment
Function & Asthetics
EMFACE is the first non-invasive therapy that relieves TMJ pain, restores jaw mobility, and enhances overall facial aesthetics.
What Is TMJ (TMD)?

How BOTOX Treats TMJ Pain
BOTOX works by relaxing overactive jaw muscles — particularly the masseter and temporalis muscles.
When injected strategically, BOTOX :
Reduces muscle overactivity
Prevents involuntary clenching
Decreases jaw tension
Relieves pressure on the joint
Reduces headache frequency
Rather than masking pain temporarily, BOTOX addresses the muscular cause of TMJ discomfort. Most patients describe it as their jaw “finally relaxing.”

The treatment simply prevents the powerful, involuntary muscle contractions responsible for pain.
BOTOX for TMJ & Headaches in Reno

Unlike anti-inflammatory medications that treat pain after it starts, BOTOX works preventatively for several months at a time.
How EMFACE Treats TMJ Pain
EMFACE is a noninvasive treatment that targets the entire muscle, skin, fat, fascia, and lymph to maintain optimal muscle tone and balance.
EMFACE for TMJ/TMD can:
Build facial muscle tone and volume
Correct asymmetries
Decrease jaw tension
Balance support structures in the face
Reduce headache frequency
Rather than creating a temporarily solution, EMFACE helps build the muscular structure of the face to better support the jaw and relieve TMJ discomfort.
