Jacobo physical therapy clinics treat a variety of conditions related to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders and vertigo. Here are some common ones:
TMJ Conditions:
- Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD): Pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement.
- Bruxism: Teeth grinding or clenching that can lead to TMJ pain.
- Jaw Dislocation: Displacement of the jaw joint, causing pain and difficulty in movement.
- Arthritis: Inflammation of the TMJ, leading to pain and stiffness.
- Myofascial Pain Syndrome: Chronic pain in the muscles around the TMJ.
Vertigo Conditions:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV): Brief episodes of dizziness related to changes in head position.
- Vestibular Neuritis: Inflammation of the vestibular nerve, leading to dizziness and balance issues.
- Labyrinthitis: Inflammation of the inner ear, causing vertigo and hearing loss.
- Meniere’s Disease: A disorder of the inner ear causing severe dizziness, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss.
- Vestibular Migraine: Migraines that cause dizziness and balance problems.
- Post-Concussion Syndrome: Persistent dizziness and balance issues following a concussion.

These conditions are often treated with specialized exercises and techniques to improve jaw function, reduce dizziness, and enhance overall vestibular function.
