Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA)
Joint Vibration Analysis (JVA) is a fast, non-invasive, and reliable measurement of TMJ function to aid in the diagnosis of jaw pain and associated problems.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the body. Like all human joints, the TMJ has surfaces which rub together when you chew, swallow or speak. Smooth, well-lubricated surfaces within the joint produce little friction and little vibration. But if the joint surface changes because of degeneration, disk displacement, or injury, jaw movement will produce friction and vibration.
If you are experiencing jaw joint pain, JVA is a valuable diagnostic tool that allows us to detect quantifiable vibrations in your jaw joint. Measuring these vibrations will help us determine the best treatment option for you.
