At NOVA Holistic Pain & Wellness Center, our approach goes beyond traditional physical therapy, with a specialized focus on jaw pain relief. Unlike conventional PT, where the majority of sessions often center around exercises, we emphasize manual techniques. Our sessions prioritize releasing tension and applying specialized methods to reconnect your brain with your muscles.

Our unique approach includes:

• Holistic Focus & Specialized Techniques: We integrate the mind-body connection and empower you through education and preventive strategies. Our sessions focus on manual therapies that release areas of tension and enhance neuromuscular connections.

• Comprehensive Care: Understanding that issues like neck pain, back pain, and headaches often accompany TMD, we address these interconnected symptoms to provide comprehensive relief.

• Evidence-Based Practices: Using cutting-edge, evidence-based methods, we identify root causes of your discomfort to tailor a personalized healing path.

• Collaborative Partnership: As your Doctor of Physical Therapy, I'm committed to partnering with you for sustainable, positive change in your health and vitality.

Our core philosophy involves treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms. Our approach integrates the mind-body connection, recognizing that mental, emotional, and physical health are interconnected and must be addressed as a unified whole for optimal healing and relief.

We tailor treatments that consider your lifestyle, emotional well-being, and physical condition to craft a personalized path to healing. By focusing on the root causes of discomfort—whether it's jaw pain or related symptoms like neck and back pain—we deliver comprehensive care aimed at achieving lasting, positive change.

This method not only enhances treatment outcomes but also elevates your overall quality of life, empowering you to thrive in mind, body, and soul. Our goal is to help you achieve holistic wellness through a careful blend of targeted therapies and lifestyle adjustments for a balanced and pain-free life.

During your first appointment at NOVA Holistic Pain & Wellness Center, we'll begin by reviewing your health history and any important details from your intake forms. This sets the foundation for a meaningful discussion about your goals, ensuring we're aligned from the start.

We'll conduct a thorough physical examination that includes a posture assessment, movement testing, and an evaluation from head to toe to identify any factors contributing to dysfunction. You'll also receive your first treatment session and learn exercises to start practicing at home.

For your comfort and safety, please wear loose-fitting clothing that allows for flexibility—avoid a sports bra—and bring water to stay hydrated.

Many clients start to feel better after the first 1-2 sessions, especially when they diligently implement the techniques discussed. While individual progress varies, it typically aligns with standard tissue healing and muscle formation times, ensuring that results are both effective and lasting.

Yes! We recognize that achieving relief from pain is deeply tied to addressing both mental and emotional aspects along with physical symptoms. This is why we offer comprehensive wellness coaching for mothers, aimed at helping them reclaim their identity amidst the demands of motherhood.

This service highlights the profound connection between emotional well-being and physical health, and how mental clarity can significantly enhance your capacity to heal.

In recognizing that unresolved emotional and mental stress can manifest as physical pain, we ensure our holistic methods address these facets of wellness. Additionally, stay tuned for our upcoming courses designed to delve deeply into jaw pain relief and strategies for living pain-free for good.

We strive to provide you with the highest quality care that transcends the limitations often imposed by insurance companies. By choosing not to accept insurance, we focus on delivering a treatment experience defined by your unique needs and goals. Here’s how this benefits you:

• Personalized & Targeted Care: Our approach allows us to customize treatment plans specifically to address the root causes of your jaw pain, ensuring each session is maximized for effectiveness. This targeted approach often means that fewer sessions are needed to achieve significant improvement, making your journey more efficient and impactful.

• Unrestricted Therapy Options: Freed from insurance constraints, we can utilize a comprehensive range of advanced, evidence-based treatments that support your holistic health. This flexibility enhances the potential for achieving optimal outcomes.

• Cost-Effective Care: With high co-pays often associated with insurance, our model offers an alternative where quality and rapid progress outweigh the traditional payment structures, ultimately leading to potential savings over time.

• Focus on Quality & Results: Each session is dedicated to creating lasting results, driven by attentiveness and expertise, ensuring that your experience is meaningful and transformative.

• Empowerment Through Choice: You are empowered to play an active role in your healing journey, making decisions based on what truly benefits your health and lifestyle, rather than limitations of coverage.

Our approach is ideally suited for anyone committed to taking a proactive stance on their health and well-being. If you experience minor jaw pain that comes and goes and want to stay on top of it before it worsens—fantastic, we can help you maintain and enhance your comfort. Conversely, if you are dealing with more severe issues, such as persistent pain, clicking, or even jaw locking, our targeted treatments can significantly alleviate these symptoms and restore function.

This service is perfect for those who view health as a lifelong investment, understanding that good health is truly invaluable. By focusing on sustainable wellness strategies that cater to your specific needs, we support a comprehensive approach to enhancing the quality of your life and ensuring your long-term health journey is positive and empowering.
