However, TMJ is a collective term encompassing various symptoms arising from disruptions in the jaw joint and its associated muscles.

Chiropractic care for TMJ dysfunction
Our chiropractors can help reduce your pain and improve the function of your TMJ in several ways, including massages, resistance exercises, and specific stretches to increase your jaw's range of motion. Additionally, they'll provide guidance on maintaining proper posture to prevent further joint issues. Common chiropractic techniques to assist TMJ dysfunction include:
TMJ Adjustments
Chiropractors will assess any misalignments of the TMJ and address these dysfunctions through precise adjustments, resulting in reduced pain and enhanced functionality.
Exercises and Stretches
Chiropractors often suggest a set of simple, yet highly effective exercises designed to address TMJ-related concerns. By incorporating these exercises into your routine, you can strengthen and increase flexibility in your jaw, promoting optimal TMJ movement and reducing the likelihood of future flare-ups.
Muscle Relaxation
Chiropractors offer soft tissue release not just for the TMJ musculature but also for the adjacent ligaments and tissues in the face, neck, and upper back.
