Our Chiropractors Specialize in Treating TMJ Pain
TMJ disorders affect the temporomandibular joint, which acts as a hinge connecting the jawbone to the skull. When this joint is swollen, irritated, or misaligned, it can cause pain and limit movement. Everyone has two temporomandibular joints — one on each side of the jaw.
The causes of TMJ disorders vary. Common culprits include chronic teeth grinding or clenching, injury, arthritis, and genetics. At The Chiropractic Health Center, we provide personalized care tailored to your unique condition, helping to alleviate pain and improve your quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
TMJ disorders can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms. Here are some of the most common conditions we treat:
- Headaches: TMJ-related headaches often stem from joint irritation and muscle tension in the neck.
- Neck pain: TMJ can contribute to pain and muscle tension in the neck.
- Jaw pain and stiffness: Pain, stiffness, and clicking or popping noises when moving the jaw are hallmark symptoms of TMJ.
- Tinnitus: Jaw joint issues can sometimes lead to ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus).
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Our chiropractors use proven techniques to reduce pain, improve function and flexibility, and
promote overall health:
This technique involves quick and gentle motions to help restore spinal alignment, helping relieve pain and tension.
The chiropractor uses hands-on techniques, including stretching and applying pressure, to improve muscle function.
Personalized guidance on posture, workplace ergonomics, and at-home exercise to help reduce recurring joint irritations.
Chiropractors take a holistic approach to headache relief, addressing the entire musculoskeletal system and identifying issues in other parts of the body that may be contributing to the pain.
