Electromyography (EMG) equipment evaluates muscle tension through sensors that are placed over the head, neck and facial pain areas. The data on muscle tension allows our doctor, Dr. Pamela Powell, to determine if your TMJ problem is ascending up the spinal cord from below the neck, or if it is descending. This distinction can be crucial in effectively correcting posture problems that are either the origin or effect of the TMJ disorders.

When you receive an EMG evaluation, our doctor will use specialized EMG equipment to precisely locate and record your physiologic, balanced muscle joint positions. Dr. Powell can then create an orthotic to meet your body’s specific needs and align your jaw to your head and neck.
