TMJ Association

Yesterday we attended a fantastic session at the Orthopedic Research Society meeting titled: Decoding Musculoskeletal Pain: Advances in Imaging and Translational Tools for the IVD, TMJ, and Knee. It was great to see so many people in attendance at this session including the NIH/NIAMS Acting Director. There was such great enthusiasm among attendees. A number of the speakers focused on their research related to temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders.

We are at the Orthopedic Research Society Meeting in Charlotte NC. This is the second year the temporomandibular joint is being featured in talks and poster sessions.
