Chiropractic Care for TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder)

Are you experiencing jaw pain or discomfort from TMJ? Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) affects the joint that connects the jawbone to the skull and can lead to pain, difficulty chewing, and headaches. At Brave Roots Chiropractic, we offer natural, non-invasive chiropractic treatments to help alleviate TMJ symptoms and restore proper jaw function.

Understanding TMJ

TMJ disorder affects approximately 12% of the population at some point in their lives. The temporomandibular joint, located just in front of the ear, plays a crucial role in speaking, chewing, and jaw movement. TMJ can be caused by:

  • Jaw Trauma or Dislocation: Injury to the jaw can lead to misalignment and TMJ symptoms.
  • Dental Procedures: Sitting in the dentist’s chair with your mouth open for extended periods can strain the temporomandibular joint.
  • Teeth Grinding or Clenching: This can place excessive pressure on the jaw and lead to TMJ over time.
  • Arthritis: Joint inflammation can also contribute to TMJ.

Many patients with TMJ experience symptoms such as:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Earaches or discomfort around the ears

How Chiropractic Care Can Help TMJ

Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating TMJ. By addressing misalignments in the jaw and spine, chiropractic adjustments can help restore proper movement and relieve the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ. Here’s how our approach works:

  • Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle, precise adjustments help realign the temporomandibular joint, relieving pressure on the surrounding nerves and muscles. This helps improve jaw movement and reduce pain.
  • Posture and Alignment: Poor posture and spinal misalignments can exacerbate TMJ symptoms. Chiropractic care helps improve overall posture and alignment, which can reduce stress on the jaw.
  • Exercises and Lifestyle Recommendations: In addition to adjustments, your chiropractor may recommend exercises to strengthen the jaw muscles and improve flexibility. Lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding teeth clenching or adjusting your sleep position, can also help prevent TMJ flare-ups.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for TMJ

Chiropractic treatment for TMJ offers several benefits, including:

  • Non-Invasive Relief: Chiropractic care provides a natural solution to TMJ pain without relying on medications or surgery.
  • Improved Jaw Function: By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic adjustments can help improve the range of motion and ease of jaw movement.
  • Reduced Inflammation: Chiropractic care can reduce inflammation around the temporomandibular joint, alleviating pain and discomfort.
  • Holistic Approach: Chiropractic care addresses the root cause of TMJ, helping to prevent future issues and promoting long-term relief.
