Could your TMJ be contributing to more than just jaw pain?
Your jaw joint works closely with the muscles of your jaw, head and neck, as well as the cranial bones and upper cervical spine. When one area isn’t functioning well, the others often compensate.
This may contribute to symptoms such as:
• Jaw pain
• Clicking or popping
• Headaches
• Neck tension
• Facial pain
• Clenching or grinding
At Aligned Chiropractic, we take a whole-picture approach to TMJ care. Rather than focusing only on where it hurts, we assess how the jaw, surrounding muscles, cranial bones and upper cervical spine are working together.
Treatment is tailored to each individual and may include gentle TMJ adjustments, cranial techniques, soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises.
If you’ve been living with persistent jaw symptoms, a comprehensive TMJ assessment may help identify what’s contributing and whether chiropractic care is right for you.
