TMJ Dysfunction
Jaw pain, clicking and headaches often trace back to the jaw joint and the neck together, and both respond well to hands-on treatment.
Also called:Jaw pain, TMD, Jaw clicking, Teeth grinding
What it feels like
- Clicking or popping when opening your mouth
- Jaw that locks or catches
- Pain chewing or yawning
- Headaches around the temples
- Ear pain with no ear infection
The jaw and the neck work as a unit. Treating one and ignoring the other explains a lot of partial results.
How we treat it
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on treatment of joints and soft tissue to restore movement and reduce pain, delivered by a licensed physical therapist rather than a machine.
Myofascial Release
Sustained, low-load pressure applied to restricted fascia and muscle to release tension patterns that stretching alone will not change.
Therapeutic Exercise
A progressive, individually prescribed exercise programme that rebuilds strength, mobility and control so improvements hold after discharge.
Physical Therapy
A full evaluation, a diagnosis you can understand, and a treatment plan built for your body and your goals rather than a generic protocol.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser applied to painful or slow-healing tissue to reduce inflammation and support recovery, with no heat and no recovery time.
