PRP for TMJ?

I had heard someone taking a muscle relaxer and another had a "little" surgery to reduce the tension and motion.
Good luck 🤞

I was also prescribed muscle relaxers. I have been trying that and it seems to be helping but i'm also interested in PRP if it can help slow down the progression of osteoarthritis in my jaws due to bruxism. (I also have osteoporosis.) Thank you for your input.

Very interested in this, anyone know how to proceed?

Interested in this too! I wonder if it would be covered by insurance

I am having PRF injections (similar to PRP) from my TMJ dental specialist. Round 3 is next week. So far, no demonstrative change. I hear it takes awhile for tissue to regenerate. Worth trying. I'm at later stage in disease process, so it's a 50/50 chance that it will work for me. You need a professional to inject. Your blood is drawn, spun and reinjected into the jaw joint. Minimal discomfort.

I have never heard of this, and intrigued. Are you doing this because of osteoarthritis or another reason? What type of professional do you go to? Hoping it all goes well for you.

Not covered by insurance. Considered "experimental". Basically no pharmaceutical company will pay for any research study because the injection is from your own body (blood plasma).

The issue I'm having is that my Maximillo Orofacial Pain Specialist charges 10'x what I hear other doctors charge. Kitkeane1 - would you mind sharing how much you are paying for a series of 3 injections? What city/state are you located? I hear the going rate is about $1,000-$1,200 for 3 injections. I went for a second opinion but that doctor doesn't do "a la carte." I would have to sign up for a whole "treatment plan" which I'm not interested in. I find my jaws are clicking more so I believe it's getting worse.

osteoarthritis, correct.

I did sign up for a treatment plan ans still pay separately for prf…350 each. Yes, expensive, but I’m in need.
