Thesis has been written to explore the management of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) and its relationship with the upper cervical spine, with a particular emphasis on educating physiotherapy students at the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences. Through the development of a comprehensive workshop and lecture review, the aim was to enhance understanding and awareness of TMD among students, equipping them with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively address these issues in their future practice.
The link between TMD and the upper cervical spine has received a lot of attention over the years, highlighting the complexity of both disorders and the need for a comprehensive management approach. The authors examined the link and the efficacy of combined manual therapy, cervical spine exercises, and therapeutic pain education in TMD management, building on recent study findings.
The authors found the importance of a holistic treatment paradigm that addresses the interconnectedness of the temporomandibular joint and cervical spine, offering a promising direction for improving patient outcomes in TMD management.
