A jaw physical therapist would be preferable to Botox . Have you looked for a therapist who is licensed in jaw therapy ? It gets to the source instead of just covering up the symptoms . Ask a therapy clinic for the name of one or google . If they don’t have one on their staff , they can refer you to one or ask your dr to find . Don’t give up . If one PT clinic doesn’t have , then try another . It took me two tries .

Try to find a dr that can do botox. Botox is beneficial bc it freezes your mussels so you do t feel the pain for least 6-8 month
