Course Details
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) refer to several highly common clinical disorders that involve the masticatory muscles, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the adjacent structures.
TMD is one of the most frequent causes of orofacial pain & headache and is associated with basic functional limitations such as difficulties in chewing, talking and yawning. Additionally, TMD patients tend to suffer from other disabling pain syndromes such as migraine, tension type HA and neck pain – therefore introducing a challenge to clinicians.
In this course, participants will learn effective evidence informed assessment & practical management of people with TMD.
Lectures (40%) & practical sessions (60%)
- Know the up-to-date scientific background of musculoskeletal pain & dysfunction in the Cranio-Mandibular region
- Recognize signs & symptoms of serious medical problems (not musculoskeletal) in people with Cranio-Mandibular pain ( ie red flags) and will know how to respond accordingly
- Practically know how to assess, evaluate & recognize common clinical patterns in people with TMD
- Practical use of the relevant clinical reasoning for management of people with TMD
- Effectively & safely treat people with TMD using hands on & exercise modalities

Specifically, his research project was done in collaboration between the physiotherapy department (School of Health Sciences) and the School of Dental Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University in Israel. In his prospective longitudinal study, Tzvika studied the relationship between specific temporomandibular disorders and impaired upper neck performance as well as the prevalence and incidence of cervicogenic headache among patients with temporomandibular disorders. This work was published in leading journals in the physiotherapy ( Musculoskeletal Science and Practice )and dentistry ( European Journal of Oral Science) professions, and Tzvika has presented his work in various conferences worldwide ( 2019 World Conference of Physical Therapy and 2017 Annual meeting of the American Academy of Orofacial Pain ).
