Your Trusted TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) & Orofacial Pain Specialists in Ahmedabad

A Pain That Crossed Borders

What began as jaw discomfort had, over 13 years, progressed into something far more serious — to the point where eating had become difficult. Like many international patients who reach out to us, Wang had already explored options in his own country without lasting relief. A friend's recommendation brought him to HEALमी, and he began his evaluation the same way every patient does — with or without being physically present, starting through an online consultation.

Diagnosis Before Travel, Clarity Before Commitment

For patients traveling from abroad, one of the biggest concerns is uncertainty — will this trip even solve the problem? Wang's case is a good example of how we work through that:

Once in Ahmedabad, his evaluation included a detailed clinical assessment and an MRI of the temporomandibular joint, which confirmed anterior disc displacement without reduction — a joint condition where the disc has shifted out of place and no longer returns during movement.

Dr. Vijay reviewed the MRI findings with Wang in detail — explaining exactly what was happening inside the joint, why it had caused pain for over a decade, and what treatment would involve. This is a step we consider non-negotiable for our international patients: you should understand your own diagnosis well enough to feel confident in the decision to proceed — not just trust it blindly because you've traveled far for it. Wang left that conversation confident, and within 3 days, he was ready to move forward with the procedure.

Efficient, Guideline-Based Treatment — Built for Patients on a Timeline

We understand international patients can't always stay indefinitely. Following AAOP (American Academy of Orofacial Pain) protocols, Wang's entire treatment plan — diagnosis to recovery — was completed within a single, focused visit:

• Arthrocentesis to flush the joint space and relieve the mechanical blockage
• Splint therapy to protect and stabilize the joint through healing
• In-house physiotherapy, so recovery could begin immediately, under direct supervision, without needing to find a separate provider back home

In His Own Words

“

"I'm from Taiwan and had been suffering from this illness for 13 years when I came to this clinic. I was in very bad shape, even having trouble eating. Thanks to Dr. Vijay's help, my condition improved and I was cured. The price was reasonable and the treatment was fast. They also offer online consultations, so I highly recommend them."

Why International Patients Travel to HEALमी

Wang's story reflects what we hear often from patients who reach us from outside India:

• Online consultations first — so you know your options before you book a flight
• Faster timelines — diagnosis to procedure often within days, not months
• Transparent, reasonable pricing compared to equivalent care in many other countries
• Complete care under one roof — imaging, procedure, splint therapy, and physiotherapy, without being referred elsewhere
