Dedicated to TMJ Relief and Whole-Body Wellness
Ricki McMillin, RDH • LMT • C‑MLD TMJ Massage Specialist TMJ Relief & Wellness is a specialty practice dedicated to helping individuals find meaningful relief from jaw pain, facial tension, headaches, and the complex patterns associated with TMJ/TMD dysfunction. With 28 years as a licensed dental hygienist — and additional experience as a medical massage therapist and orthodontic technician, with certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (C‑MLD) — I provide a precise, anatomically informed approach to soft‑tissue therapy for the jaw, head, neck, and face. My background includes advanced TMJ training, including an intraoral soft‑tissue program. This specialized education allows me to work with accuracy, intention, and a deep understanding of how TMJ dysfunction develops — and how the body can be guided toward recovery. Collaborative Care Creates Better Outcomes I value coordinated care with dentists, orthodontists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and physicians, ensuring clients receive comprehensive support across all disciplines involved in TMJ/TMD management.
Healing Starts Here
At TMJ Relief and Wellness Studio, we believe that effective care begins with truly listening to each patient. TMJ disorders are complex — they affect not just the jaw, but sleep, posture, and overall quality of life.
Our practice is built on the principle that every patient deserves a thorough evaluation, a personalized treatment plan, and ongoing support throughout their healing journey.

Thorough Assessment
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of your jaw function, bite alignment, muscle tension, and related symptoms to understand the full picture.
Personalized Treatment
No two patients are alike. We develop individualized care plans that may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and wellness strategies.
Patient Education
We empower you with knowledge about your condition and self-care techniques so you can actively participate in your own recovery.
