Yes : Splint and physical therapy are part of the treatment not all the treatment . You should have a full and detailed examination for full assessment if the situation . Apparently you are having an acute closed lock . A well trained dentist in that field could unlock it for you . Have they ever tried to inject the TMJ with %1 Carbocaine . No Epinephrine . And manually unlock it for you .
