TMJ Treatment
Do you feel jaw pain, hear clicking or popping sounds, or have difficulty chewing? TMJ disorder is a dysfunction of the jaw joint and muscles surrounding it. This can result in headaches, neck pain, facial pain or earaches.
At Perfect Posture Chiropractic Clinic, we provide TMJ-focused treatment that targets and naturally addresses the cause of your pain.
What is the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ
The TMJ connects your jaw to the skull and helps you talk, chew, yawn. Pain and dysfunction in the joint may be caused by misalignment, muscle stiffness or inflammation. Examples of common symptoms:
- Jaw Pain & Tenderness
- Clicking or popping of the jaw when you open your mouth
- Limited opening of the jaw
- Headaches and Migraines
- Earaches or Tinnitus
- Facial muscle tightness
- Stiffness in neck and upper back
TMJ is caused by misalignment of the jaw, poor posture, bruxism (teeth grinding), stress or trauma.
How can Chiropractic care help?
Chiropractic care for TMJ helps to release tension, improve function and relieve pain by aligning your jaw, spine, and neck. We offer postural correction, soft tissue therapy and gentle chiropractic care to restore natural jaw movement.
Restoring proper motion of the TMJ and neck through adjustment helps to reduce nerve irritation, as well joint restrictions.
By releasing tight jaw muscles, like the masseter, temporalis and pterygoids, tension is reduced helping to decrease referral of pain into the —jaw face & neck.
Aligning a forward head posture naturally relieves jaw stress, spinal alignment and allows TMJ to function at its full capacity.
