Treatment of TMJ using minimally invasive methods in Astana

Pain, clicking in the jaw, limited mouth opening, headaches and tension in the temporal area are common symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction.

When you need TMJ treatment:

Pain when chewing, talking, opening the mouth
Clicking, cracking, grinding in the joint
Subluxations of the jaw
Limitation of jaw mobility
Frequent headaches, especially in the temporal region

Minimally invasive techniques

We utilize three modern, minimally invasive treatment methods depending on the stage and the cause of the disorder. All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, without hospitalization and under local anesthesia.

Arthrocentesis (arthrolavage)

Flushing of the joint cavity with a special sterile solution.

What it is used for:
- Removal of inflammatory exudate
- Reducing pressure and pain
- Restoration of joint mobility
- Gentle release of blockages
Benefits:
- The procedure lasts 20-30 minutes
- Quick pain relief
- No incisions or stitches
Autoplasma injection (PRP therapy)

Injection of the patient’s own enriched plasma into the TMJ area.

What it is used for:
- Stimulation of joint tissue regeneration
- Reduction of inflammation
- Improving mobility and reducing pain
- Strengthening the effect after arthrocentesis
Benefits:
- Natural composition (no drugs)
- Effective for chronic inflammation
- Enhances tissue repair
TMJ arthroscopy

Mini-operation with the insertion of a thin camera (arthroscope) into the joint. Allows not only diagnosis but also treatment of pathology inside the joint

What it is used for:
- For adhesions, fibrosis, disc damage
- For accurate assessment of the condition
- If conservative treatment is ineffective
Benefits:
- Mini cuts up to 3 mm
- High precision
- Fast recovery
- Possibility of therapeutic manipulations

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

No. All procedures – arthrocentesis, plasma injection and arthroscopy – are performed under local anesthesia. You will not feel any pain during the intervention. After the procedure, there may be slight discomfort, which will quickly subside.

How long does the recovery last?

After arthrocentesis or plasma therapy – 1 to 3 days. After arthroscopy – 5-7 days. You will be able to return to your normal life almost immediately, following the doctor’s recommendations.

How many treatments are needed?

It depends on the condition of the joint. In some cases, a single session of arthrocentesis or PRP injection is sufficient. In more complicated situations, a course of 2-3 treatments or arthroscopy may be necessary.

Are these methods a substitute for surgery?

Yes, in most cases. Minimally invasive procedures can avoid classical surgery, especially in early treatment.

Does treatment help with clicking and clicking sounds in the joint?

Yes, especially in the early stages. Arthrocentesis and PRP can eliminate inflammation and normalize the movement of the joint disc, which eliminates clicking and discomfort.

When will I feel the results?

Most patients notice relief within the first few days after the procedure. Further improvement continues for 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the method.
