Anyone seeking chiropractic treatment for TMJ disorder is familiar with the painful and unpleasant symptoms that this disorder can cause. TMJ disorder is a common condition that can hinder day-to-day activities such as drinking and eating.
The good thing is that people suffering from TMJ dysfunction rarely must consider extreme measures such as surgery to relieve pain and ease the symptoms. Joint disorders are among the many issues that a qualified chiropractor may be able to help.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your skull to the lower jaw. It allows us to chew, talk, and yawn, so it can make all these activities difficult to perform when it becomes swollen. TMJ affects approximately 30% of adults, especially women from ages 20 to 40.
The cause of TMJ Disorder, can vary, and in most cases, it can be a combination of factors triggering the joints and causing irritation:
The symptoms can vary between patients, but typical issues might include jaw pain, migraines, trouble talking or chewing, and neck pain. Some patients also experience dizziness and unsteadiness.

Our bodies are a network of nerves, joints, muscles and other soft tissues that work together, so just because you feel jaw pain doesn’t mean the problem starts there. We will conduct a thorough examination, discuss your medical history, and perform necessary tests to understand your condition.

Our TMJ chiropractic treatment focuses on lowering tension in the joints and muscles using trigger point therapy to lessen the jaw pain and enable you to move your jaw forward and back, side to side, and up and down with ease. If, during your initial visit, we determine that the cause is neck or back misalignment, our chiropractors will perform adjustments on the spinal joints.
