Ep 70: Understanding TMJ, Dizziness & Chronic Neck Pain

Straight Up With Steph

Send me a message, I’d love to hear from you!

In this episode of Straight Up With Steph, I sit down with Dr. Joe Damiani, PT, DPT, who has worked with over 1,000 patients struggling with persistent TMJ disorder, dizziness, headaches, and neck pain. We dive deep into how posture, ergonomics, and the nervous system all play a role in chronic pain—and why traditional treatments often aren’t enough.

You’ll learn:

• Why TMJ, neck pain, dizziness, and even brain fog are more connected than you think
• How the nervous system can keep you “stuck in a loop” of pain
• The role posture and ergonomics play in jaw and neck issues
• Simple exercises for relief and strategies to retrain your nervous system
• Why dentists and hygienists need better tools for assessing TMJ beyond night guards
  

✨ Dr. Joe also shares details about his Revitalization Program, offering a systematic approach to lasting relief. Use code STEPH for a discount off your membership.
