Common Signs of TMJ Disorder

Temporomandibular joint disorder affecting the jaw, ear and temple — often overlapping with headache and facial pain — evaluated as joint, muscle and nerve together.

  • Jaw pain, clicking or popping when opening or chewing
  • Aching around the ear or temple
  • Jaw that locks, feels tight or tires easily
  • Morning headaches or facial soreness from clenching
  • Night guards or dental treatment that haven't been enough
  • Pain that spreads to the neck or head

How We Evaluate TMJ Disorder

TMJ disorder can involve the joint, surrounding muscles and nearby nerves — and frequently coexists with headache or facial pain. Your consultation evaluates all of these so treatment addresses what is truly driving your symptoms.

Because TMJ disorder sits at the intersection of jaw, head and face, a physician fellowship-trained in Headache and Facial Pain Medicine is uniquely positioned to help.

  1. 01

    Root-cause focused, not symptom-masking

    We identify the underlying source of your pain so treatment can be targeted — rather than cycling through medications that only cover it up.

  2. 02

    Dual fellowship-trained specialist expertise

    Dr. Tolebeyan is board-certified with fellowship training in both Interventional Pain Medicine and Headache & Facial Pain Medicine (Yale and Dartmouth), and formerly directed the Headache and Facial Pain Program at Tufts Medical Center.

  3. 03

    Unhurried, concierge-style care

    New patient visits are typically 60 minutes. You are listened to, examined thoroughly and never rushed — with support available between visits.

  4. 04

    Evidence-based, minimally invasive procedures

    Image- and ultrasound-guided options such as peripheral nerve blocks, trigger point and joint injections, and migraine procedures — often available the same day as your consultation.

  5. 05

    Regenerative options when appropriate

    Orthobiologic therapies such as PRP may be considered to support your body's own healing for suitable spine, joint and tendon conditions.

What to expect

How Turquoise Institute Approaches Care

No referral is needed. Here is exactly what happens when you reach out.

  1. 01

    Understand

    Your first visit is typically 60 minutes. We listen closely to your symptoms, how they affect your life, your medical history and what you've already tried — without rushing.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    A comprehensive examination and review of any imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray), with image-guided or ultrasound assessment when helpful, to pinpoint the likely source of your pain.

  3. 03

    Treat

    A personalized plan built around your diagnosis and goals — conservative care, minimally invasive procedures, or regenerative options. In many cases treatment can begin the same day, with telemedicine available for follow-up.
