Hands-on care for jaw pain, clicking and restricted opening, including the neck and headache symptoms that so often accompany them.
The temporomandibular joint is one of the most used joints in the body, talking, chewing, yawning and, for many people, clenching through the night. When it becomes irritated, symptoms include pain, clicking, locking and headaches.
Effective treatment considers the neck as well as the jaw, since upper cervical dysfunction frequently contributes. We assess both, treat what we find and give you strategies for the habits that keep aggravating it.
Physiotherapy works well alongside dental care. If you wear a night guard or are being treated for grinding, bring that information and we are happy to coordinate with your dentist where it helps.
Jaw dysfunction produces symptoms that people often do not connect to the joint itself.
