Biopsychosocial Model:

Treating the whole person. A unique set of interrelated factors that either perpetuate or protect from an illness, including temporomandibular joint dysfunction. It's necessary to understand the big picture because the strategies for patient management will have greater success than any single treatment directed at only one part.

Integrative Therapeutics-Medical, Dental, and Behavioral Healthcare. This collaborative clinic is a group of practitioners coming together to practice independently yet under one roof, at BreatheWorks, Lake Oswego, Oregon. We are coming together because we understand the necessity of a team of providers communicating together toward the goal of improving your overall physical, dental, and mental health.Our monthly clinic offers patients the advantage of a multi-professional team of providers for the management of orofacial pain problems. A group of healthcare providers specializing in this area will work together to determine the cause of your pain and the best, personalized course of treatment for you. We are so pleased to collaborate with you on your journey toward wellness and look forward to working with you. In order to make the most of our time together, we ask that you request records from previous providers and specialists and bring any relevant labs, imaging, and pathology reports that you have in your possession. It is important for us to review your current medications, dosages, and over-the-counter supplements. Please either bring all of your medications and supplements in their original bottles or take a photo of the labels on each bottle for the doctor to review.

Dr. Suzie Bergman will complete a comprehensive orofacial exam and review your health history for overlapping medical conditions. To assure optimal outcomes, her differential diagnosis will allow her to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on clear objectives for your specific condition. She will offer treatment modalities which you may opt to receive in the office. Dr. Suzie's philosophy is evidence-based, offering treatments that are reversible and noninvasive. These may include:occlusal appliance therapy, trigger point injections, Botox®, and nutritional recommendations. Dr. Suzie will also explain what you can do to manage your condition through behavioral modifications.
