It all began two years ago during a club match when a leather ball struck the corner of my neck. Although it wasn’t a major impact, I gradually started feeling pain. I consulted various orthopedic doctors, underwent physiotherapy, and even tried Ayurvedic treatments.

Fortunately, the pain lessened enough for me to carry on with my daily activities.

However, a few weeks ago, during a team lunch, I felt a sudden pain in my head while taking the first bite of my food. At first, I dismissed it and continued eating, but the pain kept intensifying and even started occurring when I spoke.

That was the tipping point. I tried to ignore it for a week, hoping it would subside, but instead, it worsened.

I immediately visited an orthopedic doctor and shared my concerns. After an examination, he told me it wasn’t an orthopedic issue but a neurological one.

So, I consulted two neurologists—one prescribed medication without any tests, while the other advised me to get an MRI. Although I found this approach puzzling, I followed their recommendations. Unfortunately, I saw no improvement and began to feel less good.

Despite this, I refused to give up. Determined to find a solution, I researched extensively on YouTube and Google about TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) and TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) and their causes. I searched for “TMJ doctor near me” and reviewed many clinics.

After going through several reviews, I finally decided to visit Dr. Deepak Daryani at the HSR Clinic and Implant Centre.

I booked an appointment without hesitation. During the consultation, Dr. Deepak thoroughly examined my condition, asked many questions, and explained what TMJ/TMD is and why it occurs. He clearly outlined the treatment plan and costs involved. He also requested blood tests, which revealed some concerns.

Treatment began with medication alongside laser therapy. From the second session onward, Dr. Deepak introduced various exercises and breathing techniques. Most importantly, he gave me a personalized nutrition plan that has been transformative. Since then, I have stopped eating junk food, reduced my sugar intake, and focused on nutrient-rich meals.

This change not only improved my physical health but also positively shifted my mindset—I now wake up early, exercise regularly, and make healthier food choices.

Dr. Deepak always ensures that I fully understand the treatment and encourages me to follow his advice diligently. As he said, the doctor can only guide; the patient must commit to the process to achieve healing.

I have completed seven sessions so far, with one more remaining, and I can already feel significant relief—the pain has vanished, and I am now able to concentrate on daily activities without constantly worrying about discomfort while eating or talking.

I am deeply grateful to Dr. Deepak Daryani and his staff for their support and the effective laser treatments.

Don’t ignore your pain. It’s always better to seek treatment early rather than waiting for the condition to worsen.
