We don’t simply treat symptoms, we treat the root cause.
The problem with most conventional treatments for TMJ & migraines is they focus on covering up the symptoms rather than figuring out the root issue. For a majority of people, the brain has learned to create a response in the muscles that keeps the cycle of pain going on forever.
Mojo Physio addresses the mechanism of pain, not the symptoms.
If you’ve suffered with chronic pain or muscle tension for any length of time, this might sound impossible – but it’s not. Why? We target and retrain your muscles to act (and rest) a different way by sending certain signals to your brain. We use neurophysiology on a level most practitioners don’t even understand.
Dentists aren’t trained to address the underlying causes of TMJ and in fact, only have about a 10% success rate in treating the disorder. Drugs, devices, injections, and electronic stimuli are only used in an attempt to stop the tension. And too often, they just aren’t effective.
We treat the body head to toe with gentle Neuromuscular Release Therapy (NRT) to retrain the brain to release painful muscle tension. For a fraction of the cost (and pain) of seeing a dentist, you can be pain-free permanently. And many of our clients quickly realize their TMJ pain was causing pain in other areas of their bodies that goes away as well.
Any migraine sufferer knows that severe headaches impact every aspect of their daily lives. Chronic headaches reduce your ability to function normally and can cause other symptoms like nausea, anxiety, and depression.
With NRT, migraine relief is minutes away. Through advanced, clinically-proven techniques, we solve the ongoing issues with your muscles to get you to a place of no more debilitating headaches!
Unlike other therapists and treatment specialists like chiropractors, our goal isn’t to keep you coming back to us for months and years. Our priority is to solve your problems fast, so you can return to normal life without pain.
If it causes you pain, we treat it.
Mojo Physio is confident in saying NRT is the last pain treatment you’ll ever need. If you’ve tried everything and are still dependent on painkillers, injections, therapies, and procedures – NRT is for you. All you’ve got to lose is pain.
In order to change years of neuromuscular imbalance and protective patterning, consistency is the single most important factor at first. We insist our clients receive a minimum of at least one (60-minute) NRT session per week for the first 4 weeks. If scheduling and time allow, we will schedule two NRT sessions per week for even faster results. This means you can be pain-free in less than half a work day. What is that worth to you?
You injured yourself years ago but you still hurt & suffer. Most people think that the initial injury is “why” they still suffer. The reality is that you healed from that initial injury within a few weeks or months after you got it. So If you’ve healed then why do you still hurt? The answer is very simple, but very few professionals look at the body the way we do.
You’re simply “stuck” in all of the muscular compensation (protective) patterns that allowed you to heal in the first place. This incredibly basic and logical phenomenon is what makes relief from chronic pain so evasive. We understand that the SOURCE of nearly ALL prolonged chronic pain comes from simple muscle imbalance.
What sets NRT apart from all other pain treatment and muscle modalities is its basis upon natural body function and the recognition of the brain's involvement during the treatment and recovery process. In other words, it is the brain’s job to allow healing to take place, but it is also the brain’s job to provide protection to injured areas.
Oftentimes, this brain based process of protecting an injured area results in other muscle or soft tissue imbalances throughout the body. A therapist who recognizes and only treats the primary injury (or site of pain), and ignores related imbalance or functional issues, will provide partial or short-term relief for the client. For example, chronic pain of the Achilles tendon in the right ankle will cause an individual to shift their weight or favor the right side resulting in an asymmetric abnormality of the way they walk.
Untreated over time, this protective neurological response will wreak havoc on the body by creating one or more additional functional imbalances or soft tissue problems.
During NRT treatments, areas within the body’s muscular system stuck in a protective (reflex) spasm are identified and ultimately released. Muscles stuck in a protective spasm cannot function normally. These spasms create prolonged chronic pain, and they also prohibit optimal performance creating issues in routine body function.
During NRT treatment the therapist seeks out the neurological (brain) response within the body through palpation (touch). The body’s neurological or brain-led response to palpation leads the NRT therapist to the unhealthy muscle or soft tissue areas. Based on the reaction to palpation, the therapist determines how much work is needed. The use of NRT manual therapy techniques, coupled with the understanding of how the systems of the body work together, eliminates the guesswork that often plagues many practitioners.
Most individuals achieve a 50-80% reduction in pain following their first treatment session. Typically, four to six treatments are all that's necessary to retrain the brain, eliminate protective patterning, and achieve full functional balance.
At Mojo Physio, the typical number of treatments to fix a client’s chronic pain averages around 4 sessions. More difficult cases can require a few more sessions, but over our 25-year history, 4 sessions seem to be the sweet spot to get someone completely pain-free. This means that for an average of less than $1,000 out of pocket, we resolve your chronic pain and get you back to living a healthy and active lifestyle.
A typical pain treatment clinic or doctor of any other sort will consist of nerve blocks, surgeries, nerve ablations, epidurals, physical therapy, or pain medication and narcotics. Although most of these standard treatments are covered by insurance, you’ll end up paying more out of pocket over a lifetime of treatments than you will at Mojo Physio. This is because the standard treatments covered by insurance companies don’t last, don’t address or fix the true source of your pain and force you to keep coming back for the rest of your life.
NRT can and does replace many traditional treatments such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, or pain management programs — but it can also be used in conjunction with these treatments for even faster results.
Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t recognize most of the treatments and clinics that actually work for people. We do provide you with a receipt that has the proper CPT codes for our procedures so you can submit a claim to your insurance company.
Hurt? No. Do you feel it? Yes. In the 25 years we’ve been doing NRT we have never had anyone say, “STOP, give me a break, I can’t handle this”. You will know that you are getting worked on, but you will not have to endure pain.
All we ask you to bring with you is a little HOPE, an open mind, and a great attitude. We’ll take it from there. For your treatment, just wear something loose and comfortable like workout attire. We do ask that you try and avoid wearing tight-fitting things like jeans. Yoga pants are fine!
