Who We Are
Serving Oklahomans for 30+ years, Craniofacial Pain Associates of Oklahoma exists to meet the needs of those individuals who are suffering from temporomandibular-related disorders; headaches; head, neck and facial pain; and/or sleep disorders.
The goal of our practice is straightforward - that is, to provide conservative, non-surgical therapies that get results. It is our desire to help each individual patient achieve maximum improvement, regaining the greatest level of comfort and normal function possible. Although not every individual can experience complete recovery from their problem, almost everyone can expect significant improvement and a better quality of life.
We utilize the latest diagnostic and therapeutic instrumentation and techniques to assist those in need. Four areas of concern are evaluated for each patient and appropriate treatment can then be applied:
-
Dental problems, which may involve improper bite or other tooth related problems;
-
Structural problems having to do with the muscles and skeleton of the upper part of the body, and most specifically, the head, neck, lower jaw and airway;
-
Nutrition and the quality of air, water and food consumed; and,
-
Lifestyle stresses that may be creating an undo strain on the physical system.
There are many patients who suffer from TMD/TMJ and/or sleep disorders that we can diagnose and successfully treat with conservative oral, craniofacial and dental therapies. However, we also recognize that there are patients for whom co-treatment or referral to a specialist is warranted. Rather than following blanket rules, we make decisions on a case-by-case basis and partner with medical specialists regularly to enable our patients to achieve maximum improvement.
We also work closely with our patients' physician(s) of record, keeping them apprised of their patient's progress through treatment. With more than 50 years of combined experience, we have found that this is the best way to achieve optimal outcomes.
