 TMJ MANAGEMENT

WHAT IS THE TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and swallow. When this joint becomes misaligned, inflamed, or stressed, it can lead to a condition known as TMJ dysfunction. Common symptoms include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness

  • Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw

  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth

  • Headaches or earaches

  • Facial muscle tightness or pain

 

WHAT CAN I EXPECT PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSIONS FOR TMJ PAIN?

 

Our tailored physiotherapy treatments focus on alleviating pain, improving jaw function, and preventing future issues. Here's how physiotherapy can help:

​

  1. Manual Therapy
    Through gentle hands-on techniques, physiotherapists can help realign the TMJ and release tension in the muscles surrounding it, improving mobility and reducing pain.

  2. Jaw Exercises
    Customized strengthening and stretching exercises are designed to improve jaw function, reduce stiffness, and restore balance to the muscles involved in jaw movement.

  3. Posture and Alignment Correction
    Poor posture can contribute to TMJ dysfunction. Physiotherapists assess your posture and provide exercises that promote proper alignment, reducing unnecessary strain on the jaw.

  4. Stress Management Techniques
    Since stress and clenching can exacerbate TMJ issues, physiotherapists may offer relaxation exercises, breathing techniques, or recommendations for reducing tension in the jaw.

  5. Education and Prevention
    You'll receive expert guidance on how to avoid behaviors that might worsen TMJ symptoms, such as teeth grinding or improper chewing. We empower you to take control of your health and prevent future flare-ups.
