After treatment by another area dentist, I developed SEVERE TMJ. Improper crown work and fillings resulted in crushing headaches, dizziness, hand, arm, back, neck, and shoulder pain and debilitating weakness in my upper body. I had to give up my workouts and could not participate in any physical activity. I could not do simple housework including dishes, cooking, laundry, and cleaning. Every meal was followed by intense headache pain. My arms felt like the muscles were being stripped off of the bones. I suffered with this for 5 months and then my chiropractor recommended Dr. Cohen.
At the first visit, Dr. Cohen took x-rays and presented me with a detailed explanation and models of my TMJ. He also filed down a recent filling I received from another dentist that was causing my jaw to twist with every bite. My symptoms improved 75% immediately. The burning and ripping went away.
Gradually, as my jaw shifts back to its normal position, my syptoms lessen. I have gone from hopeless to hopeful that I will regain 100% of my upper body strength and will be able to again enjoy exercise and sports.
The staff is very courteous and professional. The atmosphere is peaceful and positive. It is worth the drive.
