Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) / Jaw Dysfunction
Restore normal jaw movement and alleviate symptoms associated with TMJ disorders.
OUR APPROACH
Alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders, that affect your jaw joints and muscles that control your jaw movement.
If you are experiencing jaw pain, clicking in the jaw, locking of the jaw, difficulty chewing or a decrease in jaw movement we can tailor a treatment plan for you.
Our treatments include manual therapy, tailored exercises for strengthening and stretching, postural education, and strategies for pain management to reduce muscle activity, increase joint mobility, and improve overall jaw function.
WHO CAN BENEFIT?
People who describe any jaw related symptoms.
They might be experiencing persistent jaw pain, clicking, popping, or locking may benefit from treatment.
Anyone who has jaw fractures, a history of teeth grinding or jaw clenching or those whose symptoms are increased by stress.
Conditions like sleep apnea or persistent headaches not resolved with other treatments.
WHY A PHYSIO?
A physiotherapist can assess and treat jaw pain, muscle tension in the jaw and surrounding areas.
TMJ is one of the most used joints in the body. We use our jaw to eat, talk, yawn and express our emotions. Because of its importance and the stressors to which it is exposed, things can go wrong, and it can hurt.
A large number of issues can be caused if TMJ dysfunction is not treated. These may include speech difficulties, dental issues, chronic pain, declining mental health and inadequate nutritional intake.
TMJ dysfunction can be treated simply, effectively and non-invasively.
