Question 1

Do I need a prescription?

Accepted Answer

For care reimbursed by the CNS, a medical prescription and the conditions in force are generally required, and the practice supports you with the administrative steps. The full process is explained on our page The physiotherapy consultation.

Question 2

Can bruxism be treated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Clenching the teeth, often at night, maintains muscle tension that bears on the TMJ. Rehabilitation works on relaxing these muscles, posture and learning prevention techniques, complementing dental follow-up when necessary.

Question 3

Is this click serious?

Accepted Answer

An occasional, painless click most often corresponds to the disc returning to its place. A click audible with every chewing movement, however, deserves an assessment: the joint becomes more prone to locking or wearing out, and the disorder is all the easier to correct the earlier it is addressed.

Question 4

Is rehabilitation painful?

Accepted Answer

Techniques are dosed according to your tolerance and the condition of the tissues. Some mobilisations, particularly intraoral ones, may be tender at the time, but the technique always remains adapted to your comfort and explained beforehand. Report any unusual pain so that intensity can be adjusted.

Question 5

How long before seeing an improvement?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the origin and how long the disorder has been present. A recent problem is generally corrected faster than a situation established over years, where compensations are more numerous. The programme is reassessed regularly rather than set at an identical number for everyone.

Question 6

Should I continue the exercises at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The exercises and prevention advice to reproduce at home prolong the benefits of the session and limit recurrence. Unclenching the jaws during the day, correcting posture and maintaining mobility are an integral part of the treatment.

Question 7

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can book online or call the Bascharage practice on +352 26 65 28 42. If you are unsure about the urgency of your symptoms, call 112 rather than waiting for an appointment.
