TMJ Patient Testimonial

“I suffered from frequent migraine headaches and frequent jaw pain. My provider told me that I had TMJ and referred me to iSpine. That is where I learned that due to years of poor posture in my work as a pharmacist, my neck was weak and muscles tight, resulting in my headaches and jaw pain. The therapists were motivating and I felt like they really cared about helping me get better. My jaw is feeling much better and I now have the tools needed to prevent future injury.”  – Melisa D.
