TMJ / Jaw Pain
With many years experience in relieving jaw pain, we’re here to helpÂ
With a special interest in TMJ dysfunction and with many years of experience, we are experts at treating the jaw. Â
The temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-man-DIB-u-lur) joint is more commonly and much more simply known as the jaw! Like the rest of our body, we take it for granted until something goes wrong, then the frustrations begin. Many people do not realise that the symptoms of TMJ dysfunction can be relieved with simple, effective chiropractic treatments.Â
Typical symptoms include
- Pain around your jaw, ear and temple
- Clicking, popping or grinding noises with jaw movements
- Headaches
- Difficulty fully opening your mouth
- Jaw locking with your mouth open
Treatment
Gentle manipulations to the jaw and surrounding muscles are effective at relieving symptoms. Sometimes jaw pain is related to grinding your teeth, clenching your jaw and stress. If this is the case, we will teach you helpful techniques to relax your jaw, discuss ways to help you reduce stress, and may recommend that you see your dentist.Â
