The Allentown Pain and Sleep Centers treat patients with craniomandibular disorders, chronic pain, and obstructive sleep disorders.
TREATING PATIENTS WITH CRANIOMANDIBULAR DISORDERS, CHRONIC PAIN, AND OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP DISORDERS.
Patients are referred by all medical specialists, as well as by general dentists. Careful patient diagnosis occurs within a model that includes an initial phone contact, a comprehensive history, joint vibration analysis, imaging when indicated, and a comprehensive examination. Non-surgical, diagnostically driven treatment is the key to the patient care employed at the Center.
Based on the patient's symptoms, the Center incorporates both permissive and demand appliance therapy. The key role of parafunction is emphasized. Supportive therapy, including physical therapy modalities, and injection therapy are prescribed as necessary. Drs. Polit and Malizia employ outcome measurement techniques and focuses on logical therapy and recall systems.
