What Is TMJ?
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ or TMD) affects the joint and muscles that control jaw movement. It can cause jaw pain, stiffness, clicking or popping, headaches, facial discomfort, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth. Through specialized physical therapy, we identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to restore comfortable, pain-free movement.
Our Clinical Approach to TMJ Treatment
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your jaw, neck, posture, and movement patterns. Because TMJ symptoms often involve more than just the jaw, we assess the muscles and joints that influence how your entire head and neck function together before creating a personalized rehabilitation plan.
Restoring Comfortable Jaw Function
Your treatment may include hands-on manual therapy, gentle joint mobilization, therapeutic exercises, posture correction, muscle relaxation techniques, and education to improve jaw movement while reducing pain and muscle tension. Our goal is to restore normal function and help prevent symptoms from returning.
