Do you notice jaw pain after chewing tough food or clenching your teeth during stressful moments? If your jaw feels sore, stiff, or makes clicking sounds when you talk or chew, you could be dealing with TMJ disorder. At Movement Chiropractic, we offer specialized, non-invasive care to help you find relief.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders occur when these joints become misaligned or inflamed, leading to:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing your mouth
- Difficulty chewing
- Headaches or neck pain
What Causes Jaw Pain?
TMJ pain often develops after everyday activities like eating tough meat, yawning, or after a long day of talking. Many people also experience discomfort from grinding their teeth or sleeping in awkward positions.
TMJ disorders are often caused by issues such as:
- Misaligned jaw or spine
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- A misaliged bite
- Jaw injuries
- Poor posture
- Dental work
- Stress-related muscle tension
- Arthritis in your jaw joint
Treatment for Jaw Pain
At Movement Chiropractic, we focus on addressing the root causes of TMJ pain, such as misalignment in the jaw, neck, or spine, and muscle tension. Our treatment involves:
Gentle chiropractic adjustments realign your joints, reducing pressure on your TMJ and alleviating pain.
We relax the tight muscles around your jaw, neck, and shoulders to reduce inflammation and tension.
Poor posture—whether from long hours at the desk or looking down at your phone—can strain your jaw. We help you improve your posture to prevent further TMJ-related issues.
We provide simple, effective exercises to strengthen and stretch your jaw muscles, offering relief and improved mobility.
