Dr.
Pilar limits his practice to treating
patients suffering from migraine headaches,
head-neck muscle and jaw joint disorders.
His highly effective, non invasive and
state of the art treatment program is
designed for patients with conditions
associated with migraine headaches that may
include symptoms of temporo-mandibular
disorder (TMD) such as neck to shoulder to
head pain, eye/ear sensitivity,
dizziness/blurry eyesight, jaw pain and
clicking, ringing in the ears, grinding or
clenching of teeth.
After
a thorough intra-oral and extra-oral patient
exam which includes muscle spasm-trigger
point evaluation, Dr. Pilar employs a dual
pronged treatment program consisting of ETPS
(Electro Therapeutic Point Stimulation) and
a customized muscle orthotic appliance, the
NTI.
ETPS combines the principles of acutherapy
with D.C. current at extremely low frequency
levels via electric stimulation to locate,
pinpoint and treat the trigger points which
set off the debilitating muscle contractions
and ensuing painful symptoms.
In addition,
the NTI, a small, comfortable, customized orthotic
mouth appliance prevents the jaw clenching
and undesirable contact of all upper and
lower back teeth including the associated
head and neck muscular contractions.
The NTI is the most effective FDA-approved
method of migraine prevention.
Most
treatment is covered by medical insurance
and Medicare. |
