Jaw pain isn't always just a jaw problem. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), neck, surrounding muscles, and posture all work closely together, which means dysfunction in one area may contribute to symptoms elsewhere.
TMJ-related problems can cause jaw pain or tenderness, clicking and popping, difficulty opening the mouth, headaches, facial discomfort, and tension through the neck and shoulders. Clenching or grinding your teeth, stress, posture, previous injuries, and muscle tension may all contribute.
At Lakeside Chiropractic in Joondalup, different chiropractic modalities may be used depending on your symptoms and individual needs. These can include gentle chiropractic adjustments and joint mobilisation to improve movement, along with soft tissue techniques, dry needling, stretching, and rehabilitation exercises to address surrounding muscle tension and function.
Rather than focusing on the jaw alone, we assess the relationship between your head, neck, jaw, posture, and movement to determine what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Experiencing ongoing jaw pain, headaches, neck tension, or clicking around your TMJ? Our chiropractors can assess your symptoms and discuss which treatment options may be suitable for you.
