PRP THERAPY

PRP Injections for TMJ Relief

TMJ disorders can cause chronic pain, clicking, stiffness, and difficulty opening your mouth. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a minimally invasive, regenerative approach to managing TMJ conditions โ€” using your own biology to promote healing from within.

WHY PRP

Why Use PRP for TMJ?

TMJ disorders involve pain, clicking, stiffness, and difficulty opening the mouth. PRP is being explored as a treatment because it may help:

  • Reduce inflammation and pain
  • Promote tissue healing and regeneration
  • Improve joint lubrication
  • Possibly avoid surgery or reduce medication use

THE PROCEDURE

How PRP for TMJ Works

  1. Blood is drawn from your arm using a standard venipuncture technique.
  2. The sample is spun in a centrifuge to concentrate and separate the platelet-rich plasma.
  3. A trained medical professional injects the PRP precisely into the TMJ area.
  4. Ultrasound guidance is used to ensure accurate and safe delivery.

SAFETY & RISKS

Is PRP for TMJ Safe?

Because PRP uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions is significantly reduced. The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under professional medical supervision.

Some patients may experience temporary mild discomfort, localized swelling, or minor bruising at the injection site โ€” all of which typically resolve within a few days.

Bottom Line

PRP for TMJ is a minimally invasive option that may help promote healing and reduce pain for some people with TMJ disorders. Results vary, and a consultation is recommended to determine if this therapy is right for you.
