How TMJ Disrupts Life in Miami
Meals become torture: Every bite brings pain as your jaw grinds and clicks. You avoid crunchy foods, cut everything into tiny pieces, and watch others enjoy meals while you manage the stabbing sensation that makes eating a chore instead of a pleasure.
Work conversations drain you: Talking through meetings or phone calls becomes exhausting as jaw pain builds with every word. You speak less, avoid presentations, and feel the bone-on-bone grinding that makes basic communication something you have to endure.
Sleep offers no relief: You wake with a locked jaw and headaches from clenching all night. Even sleep becomes another source of pain, leaving you exhausted and facing another day of managing the relentless discomfort that never stops.
You shouldn't have to manage pain through every meal and conversation. Relief is possible.
What Causes TMJ Pain to Keep Coming Back?
Many people think TMJ is just a joint problem, but tight jaw muscles pulling on the joint create the grinding, clicking, and pain. Our robotic therapy targets these deep muscular layers that splints can't address and manual therapy can't effectively reach.
TMJ Relief at TheraMax
TMJ pain often results from tight muscles in your jaw that pull the joint out of alignment, causing grinding, clicking, and bone-on-bone pain. While splints only protect and surgery only addresses joint structure, robotic therapy targets the muscular tension that's actually driving your dysfunction. The robotic system is designed to deliver sustained, deep pressure to your masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles like a precision tool, releasing the chronic tension that squeezes your jaw like a vice. This approach addresses what surgery misses and what manual therapy can't sustain, giving many clients lasting relief.
Clients often report they can:
Eat and talk without constant jaw pain
Sleep through the night without clenching
Open their mouth fully without clicking or restriction

What Makes Our Approach Different
Swipe to compare treatment options
Chiropractor
Approach: Jaw adjustments and alignments to reposition the temporomandibular joint
Timeframe: Multiple visits over weeks/months
Effectiveness: May provide temporary relief but doesn't release the deep muscle tension pulling your jaw out of alignment
Adjustments don't address the tight masseter and pterygoid muscles causing your jaw to grind and click. Many clients find the pain returns because the muscular tension persists. Robotic therapy targets these deeper layers for lasting results.
Physical Therapy
Approach: Jaw exercises, stretches, and manual therapy to reduce muscle tension
Timeframe: 8-12 weeks of sessions
Effectiveness: Can help mild cases but lacks the sustained deep pressure needed for chronic TMJ
Stretches and exercises often provide temporary relief, but many clients find the pain returns because PT doesn't reach the deep muscular layers where tension is trapped. Robotic therapy targets these deeper layers for lasting results.
Injections & Surgery
Approach: TMJ surgery to repair or replace the joint structure, or Botox injections to relax jaw muscles
Timeframe: Recovery time varies by procedure
Effectiveness: Surgery has variable outcomes with risk of worsening pain; injections provide temporary relief
Every surgery can make your pain worse, with patients reporting escalating suffering after multiple procedures. Surgery addresses joint structure but misses the muscular tension driving dysfunction. Robotic therapy treats the muscular cause without surgical trauma.
Why TMJ Keeps Coming Back
Your jaw muscles are locked in tension and need deep release
When muscles like your masseter, temporalis, and pterygoids stay chronically tight, they pull your jaw joint out of alignment like a tug-of-war on each side. This creates the grinding, clicking, and bone-on-bone pain you feel. Our robotic therapy is designed to apply sustained, precise pressure to release these specific muscles, allowing your jaw to move freely again. It's the difference between protecting your teeth with a splint and actually freeing your jaw from the muscular grip causing the dysfunction.
What Our Miami Clients Say About Their Results
"Great therapy for chronic or new connective tissue problems. Faster recovery than conventional PT. Staff are friendly and patient. Mylene taught me about facia and actually showed me what else I can do at home. Some areas the robotic arm can reach better than anyone can manually."
"I've been coming to TheraMax for my plantar fasciitis and working with Cassandra. She is SOOO knowledgeable and knows exactly where I need the robot. I've had about 4 sessions and have felt significant improvement. Cassandra is a wealth of knowledge and also provided me with exercises to do at home to help."
"I love this place. I've been there for three sessions now and the therapist I work with is really nice and friendly."
"After struggling with sciatica pain for months, I gave TheraMax Miami a try. Mylene and Cassandra are miracle workers. The shooting pain down my leg is gone after 5 sessions! I had never even heard of the psoas muscle and how it can cause back pain. So glad my sister told me about this place."
"I went for plantar fasciitis pain, and it was such an amazing experience. All the service was unbelievable, from the check in to the end. Cassandra was outstanding, she was very knowledgeable and also very friendly and outgoing. Highly recommend it!"
"Thank you to the folks at Theramax, after 4 sessions my sciatica pain has been greatly reduced. I’ve been able to slowly return to the gym and feel that I am on my way to a full recovery. Highly recommend."
"(Translated by Google) A unique experience, the staff is very professional and friendly! It's worth a try. (Original) Una experiencia diferente, el personal muy profesional y muy amable! Vale la pena probarlo"
"I saw the website for Theramax when I was on vacation in Miami. My shoulder muscles were so tight I could barely turn my head. :-/ Waleska was able to schedule me into a last minute appointment and I am so grateful that she did! I am really feeling great after the treatment. I have also continued to use my percussion gun in the same spots, so the muscle continues to loosen. My treatment was certainly a success!"
Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to your questions about robotic therapy
How is this different from splints or mouth guards?
Splints protect your teeth from grinding but don't address the tight jaw muscles causing the problem. Our robotic therapy actively releases the muscular tension pulling your jaw out of alignment, which is why many clients experience more lasting relief than passive protection devices.
What if I've already had TMJ surgery?
Surgery addresses joint structure but often misses the muscular component. Many clients come to us after surgery didn't resolve their pain because the tight jaw muscles were never treated. Robotic therapy can address this muscular tension even after surgical intervention.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most clients experience minimal discomfort, with many finding the treatment deeply relaxing. You're in complete control and can adjust intensity at any time. The robotic system applies steady therapeutic pressure, but never more than you can handle.
How many sessions will I need?
Every client is different based on how severe your TMJ is and how long you've had it. Many clients notice improvement after several sessions. We start with an assessment to give you realistic expectations for your specific condition.
How soon can I get an appointment?
We offer same-week appointments and 60% of our new clients are seen within 3 days. We have flexible scheduling including early morning, evening, and weekend appointments. Call (786) 480-0026 to check availability or book online.
