Chronic Pain, Headaches, and TMJ

Chronic Pain is a multi-factor disorder.

Symptoms may stem from:

• chronic inflammatory conditions
• pathophysiological changes in localized structures/tissues
• or an over sensitization of the central nervous system.

Psycho-emotional factors and functional disabilities also play a role in prognosis and treatment.

Since chronic pain is no longer “just an injury”, assessment of specific contributing factors can prove difficult. The therapists at Evolution Sports assess the individual as a whole and understand how differential diagnosis plays a role in identifying key components of an individual’s pain.

Similarly, headaches, like chronic pain are mysterious entities. There are many different sources of headaches including dysfunctions of all or one of the cervical spine, sinus, vestibular or arterial systems or possibly the TMJ.

The therapists at Evolution Sports will thoroughly assess the individual for the potential sources of their headache and rule out offending structures or pathology. By properly evaluating all structures, a host of technical manual therapies can be utilized to decrease symptoms and restore full function.

Every patient at Evolution Sports in Cockeysville, MD will receive an individualized exercise program to meet their specific needs and goals.

At Evolution Sports you will never be disappointed with the quality of care you receive.
