TMJ / Jaw Pain Management
Find relief from jaw pain and tension.
Jaw pain often linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can make chewing, talking, yawning, and even sleeping uncomfortable. It can also trigger headaches, neck tension, or ear discomfort. Physiotherapy can help by reducing pain, improving jaw movement, and addressing the habits or muscle patterns contributing to the problem.
Identifying the Cause of Your Jaw Pain
We start by finding the source of your symptoms, which may include:
When and how it began:
Sudden strain, gradual onset, or linked to dental work or stress.
Daily habits:
Teeth grinding, jaw clenching, chewing on one side.
Jaw movement patterns:
Stiffness, clicking, locking, or restricted opening.
Linked areas:
Neck and head posture that may be worsening your symptoms.
By understanding the cause, we can create a plan that treats the source, not just the pain.
