TMJ Chiro
About
Chiropractors often conjure images of popping and cracking to realign the skeleton. But my work is pop-free — instead, I invite a gentle unwinding to release tension and return to alignment naturally. At The TMJ Chiro, I use a unique blend of Craniosacral Therapy and myofascial release designed for: TMJ dysfunction & jaw pain Headaches and clenching Hypermobility and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Chronic pain
EDS Healthcare in New York
The NYIT EDS/Hypermobility Treatment Center operates in Old Westbury and Central Islip, offering specialized rehabilitation and treatment. Mount Sinai South Nassau Chiari EDS Center in Oceanside focuses on EDS with Chiari malformation. Weill Cornell provides pain management expertise. New York Medicaid covers genetic testing with prior authorization. Wait times at major programs can be 6 months or longer.
Both EDS Centers of Excellence are on Long Island, leaving upstate New York significantly underserved. Patients in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, and the Adirondacks face drives of 4-6+ hours to reach these programs. Wait times of 6 months or more are common. Rural upstate access is very limited, and telehealth is important for follow-up care.
Finding Dental / TMJ / Orofacial for EDS
Let the provider know upfront that you may need extra local anesthetic and frequent breaks, since EDS patients often have medication resistance and jaw instability during procedures.
