Innovation: Expand Your Reach: A Toolkit for Promoting PT-Dentist Collaboration in the Evidence-Based Management of Temporomandibular Disorder

Description:

• A Toolkit for PTs to foster improved collaboration with dental professionals in the care of individuals with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)
• Enable PTs to efficiently and effectively advocate for physical therapy as an evidence-based conservative management option in TMD to dental professionals

Why This Matters

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) can cause jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty with daily activities like eating and speaking. Physical therapy offers a safe, effective, and non-invasive way to manage these conditions. This toolkit includes infographics designed for both patients and providers to facilitate better understanding and collaboration.

✨ This toolkit is exclusive to APTA Orthopedics Members ✨
