In this first episode of Healing Points, we explore how warm acupuncture and electroacupuncture are used to treat temporomandibular disorder (TMD)—a condition affecting the jaw, face, and neck. Drawing from a 2025 peer-reviewed review by Lisa Dal Pozzo and colleagues, we break down the evidence behind acupuncture’s role in relieving pain, improving jaw mobility, and reducing recurrence rates.
We discuss clinical trials comparing acupuncture to conventional therapies, explain key mechanisms in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and explore the neural circuits activated by electroacupuncture.
