TMJ Dysfunction
TMJ Dysfunction
The TMJ connects your jawbone to your skull and is one of the most active joints in the body. It is used for talking, chewing, swallowing, and facial expression.
When the joint or surrounding muscles become strained, inflamed, or imbalanced, it can lead to symptoms such as:
Jaw pain or stiffness
Clicking or popping
Ear pain or fullness
Headaches or facial tension
Neck and shoulder tightness
TMJ treatment focuses on restoring proper movement and reducing muscle tension. Your session may include:
Soft tissue therapy for jaw and neck muscles
Gentle joint mobilizations to improve jaw tracking
Neck and upper back treatment to support posture
Corrective exercises for jaw control and relaxation
