Around Castaic

Where the valley meets the Grapevine.

Castaic sits at the northern end of the Santa Clarita Valley, where Interstate 5 starts its climb toward the Grapevine. The Old Road still runs beside the freeway through town, a reminder of the older highways Castaic grew up along.

West of the freeway, Hasley Canyon is an outlying part of Castaic, north of Val Verde. Val Verde itself lies about three miles west of Interstate 5.

Before Interstate 5, traffic crossed the mountains north of Castaic on the old Ridge Route, and Castaic first grew up as a stop along that highway.

The assessment

What is going on, explained first.

Dr. Haykani looks at your jaw, bite and teeth, asks about symptoms such as jaw discomfort, clicking, clenching or grinding, and explains what she finds. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect the jaw joints and the muscles that move them.

Conservative care and referral

Reversible care first, referral when needed.

Many TMD symptoms improve without invasive treatment, and painless clicking often needs no treatment at all.
