- ConditionConditions/Services/Treatments PageIf you're noticing pain in your jaw or face, locked jaw or popping sounds, you likely have a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Physical therapy can help patients avoid surgery, recover from surgery for TMD and help to manage chronic pain associated with TMD.What are Temporomandibular Joint Disorders?TMD strains the joint that connects the skull to the lower jaw, as well as nearby muscles and nerves. TMDs can happen due to injury, arthritis, grinding/clenching, stress or an improper bite.These little joints can cause big problems. Some estimates suggest 10 million Americans have TMD. Over time, TMD can cause facial, neck, head and ear pain. It can also limit how much you move your neck and open your mouth, and make chewing painful.Fortunately, our physical therapists at Luminis Health can help you regain mobility and live free of TMD pain.

Your blood flows through them to carry oxygen and nutrients to every organ and tissue in your body. When there's a blockage on that highway, serious problems can occur. What Is Vascular Surgery? Vascular surgery repairs damaged blood vessels or opens blocked vessels, so your blood can flow through more easily. Vascular surgeons at Luminis Health are experts in advanced endovascular therapy. They open vessels and remove blockages to improve blood flow in your neck, legs, kidneys and other organs — using minimally invasive surgical techniques. That means tiny incisions, minimal pain and scarring, and a speedy recovery for you. Types of vascular surgery Your surgeon determines whether minimally invasive or traditional open surgery is the best option for you. The type of vascular surgery you have will depend on your medical condition and overall health. Some of the most common vascular surgeries performed at Luminis Health include:
- General Page - Tier 1Gillian DuVall’s life turned upside down last summer when she found out she had breast cancer.The business owner and mother of four was visiting Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center (LHAAMC) to refill a prescription when she decided to go to the breast center and schedule a mammogram – something she had been putting off for over a year. With so much going on with family and work, her appointments often fell to the bottom of the list.“It often goes unsaid that mothers are running a three-ring circus 24 hours a day,” she says.During her appointment, Gillian was diagnosed with stage two breast cancer. “The first three weeks after being diagnosed are like nothing else you’ve ever experienced,” she says. “You have to drop everything.”She credits Nurse Navigator Judy Davis as her saving grace. “Judy was there for me…she was my advocate. She kept me from losing my mind,” Gillian says.Nurse navigators are assigned to patients at the cancer center to offer a comforting and consistent presence during a stressful time. The cancer center has several nurse navigators on staff to help patients with appointments, treatment plans, and recommendations from providers. All of this support is free to patients.After experiencing first-hand how important nurse navigators are, Gillian decided to get involved with Fish for a Cure, a local fishing tournament that raises funds for the cancer survivorship program at LHAAMC.“It’s because of Fish for a Cure that the cancer center is able to have nurse navigators, and I know there are people who would not be able to navigate treatment without that support,” Gillian says.To show her gratitude, Gillian’s business, Annapolis Pillow Company, created a Fish for a Cure pillow, available in indoor and outdoor fabric with two design options. The company will donate 35% of profits from the pillows to the Reel Counsel Team, one of the boats participating in the 2021 event.To schedule a mammogram, please click here or call 1-888-909-9729.

That's why we've signed on to the Image Wisely and Image Gently pledges. These programs, led by the ACR, help us stay at the forefront of safe radiology testing.If you're booking a lung screening or calcium scoring test, you can book using our simple online system. (Or give us a call if you prefer!) We also offer convenient evening and weekend appointments.ServiceConditions/Services/Treatments PageA CT scan is an imaging technology to see inside your body. CT scans can show bones, joints, organs, blood vessels — pretty much everything!CT scans can reveal the cause of your symptoms. They can find problems in the body before they cause any symptoms. They can also help doctors see whether cancer is going away with treatment.How Does a CT Scan Work?CT imaging uses radiation beams to produce images. Tissue, bone and other structures in the body absorb the radiation in different amounts. A computer analyzes the radiation beams as they pass through to the other side to form images.While an x-ray uses a single radiation beam, a CT scan takes that x-ray beam and moves it in a circle around the body. This is why CT machines are doughnut shaped. CT scans capture more detailed, 3D images, compared to x-rays.Besides diagnosing a broad range of conditions, CT radiology scans are useful for people without symptoms. They can reveal early signs of heart problems and lung cancer, and help you avoid a health crisis. CT Scans Can Help You Reduce Your Heart Attack RiskJust like plaque can build up around your teeth, plaque can build up in the arteries. But the consequence is much worse — plaque in the arteries can cause heart disease and heart attacks.Calcium scoring uses low-dose CT technology to see the arteries in the heart. The radiologist can then measure the amount of calcium in the arteries. Calcium is an important part of plaque.If you have a moderate to high calcium score, your doctor may recommend medications as well as lifestyle changes. CT Scans Can Find Lung Cancer EarlyAmerica's top lung experts recommend low-dose CT lung screening for long-term or heavy smokers between ages 50 and 80. This gives doctors a chance to find lung tumors when they're small and contained to one area. For cancer, early detection is good. Doctors can use less intense treatments. And treatments are much more likely to work when we find cancer early.How do you know if you smoke enough to need lung screening? Multiply your average number of packs in a day by the years you've been smoking. If you get 20 or more, you qualify. (As an example, someone who smokes a pack a day for at least 20 years should check their lungs. So should someone who smokes a half pack a day for at least 40 years.)
