TMJ proficiency — evaluation, X-rays, and manipulation techniques
Dr. Mitch Mally’s TMJ manipulation techniques course delivers cutting-edge insights into temporomandibular joint disorders — a condition afflicting millions of patients and creating significant suffering both physically and financially. The program is organized into three sections that follow the clinical workflow from initial assessment through treatment: understanding what is happening in the body, performing systematic evaluation, and applying multiple adjustment techniques. The course also addresses cervical spine involvement, recognizing that TMJ dysfunction rarely exists in isolation.

Understanding TMJ — what is happening in the body
The opening section addresses the scope of TMJ dysfunction, including its signs and symptoms, and provides X-ray interpretation guidance specific to the temporomandibular joint. Clinical case studies illustrate real-world presentations, establishing the diagnostic foundation before moving into hands-on evaluation techniques. This section also covers pre-alignment techniques that prepare the joint for manipulation.
Evaluation and examination techniques
The evaluation section covers pre-TMJ evaluation protocols, systematic examination techniques, and the clinical case studies that tie assessment findings to treatment planning. Dr. Mally walks through TMJ examination procedures with clear positioning guidance, ensuring you can perform a thorough evaluation that identifies the specific dysfunction pattern before selecting an adjustment approach.
Treatment techniques and adjustment demonstrations
Multiple adjustment techniques are presented on a live model in both real-time and slow motion, with bone model demonstrations included for anatomical clarity. The treatment section addresses clicking, popping, and treatment planning — covering the range of clinical scenarios you will encounter and the specific techniques appropriate for each. The program closes with a practical discussion of the conditions where TMJ intervention creates meaningful patient improvement.

Exactly what I needed to build confidence in TMJ manipulation. The real-time and slow-motion playback combination is the best way to learn adjustment techniques. The clicking and popping treatment section was particularly practical.
Robert M. –
The slow-motion adjustment demonstrations are incredibly helpful for learning proper technique. Dr. Mally explains the reasoning behind each manipulation clearly. The bone model additions make the anatomy easy to follow.
Steven L. –
This course filled a gap in my training. The cervical spine connection to TMJ dysfunction is explained well, and the multiple adjustment techniques give you options for different patient presentations. Highly recommended.
Angela T. –
Good overview of TMJ evaluation and treatment. The X-ray review section was particularly useful for connecting imaging findings to clinical presentation. Would have liked more case studies but the technique demonstrations are strong.
Jennifer K. –
Solid technique demonstrations with clear explanations. Dr. Mally’s clinical experience comes through in the case studies. The treatment planning section helps you think through which adjustment approach fits each patient.
