WHAT TO EXPECT

During your first visit, your therapist will evaluate how your jaw moves, where your pain is located, and how your posture may be contributing to your symptoms. You may also be asked about daily habits like clenching, chewing, or desk setup to find root causes.


Your treatment plan will likely include gentle manual therapy, exercises to improve movement, postural retraining, and strategies to avoid jaw strain. You'll leave with tools to manage symptoms at home and may start feeling relief within a few sessions. Most people experience steady improvement and lasting results without the need for medication or surgery.

OVERVIEW

TMJ dysfunction refers to problems with the temporomandibular joint, the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. These issues can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds, earaches, and difficulty chewing. TMJ problems are often linked to muscle tension, misalignment, grinding, or past injuries.

Physical therapy offers a non-invasive, highly effective way to treat TMJ pain. Treatment includes manual techniques, posture correction, relaxation training, and exercises to restore normal jaw function. By improving alignment and releasing tension in surrounding muscles, therapy can reduce pain and help you return to eating, talking, and living comfortably.
