TMJ Treatment in South Brunswick
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause persistent discomfort, making simple activities like eating, speaking, and even yawning difficult. Symptoms may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and muscle tightness in the face, neck, and shoulders. The good news? Chiropractic care and physical therapy offer natural, non-invasive solutions to ease pain and restore function.
How Chiropractic Care Eases TMJ Pain
A misaligned jaw or restricted movement in the neck and upper spine can contribute to TMJ dysfunction. Our doctors use gentle adjustments to restore proper alignment, reduce muscle tension, and improve overall joint function. Soft tissue techniques like myofascial release can help relax tight jaw muscles, making movement smoother and more comfortable.
The Benefits of Physical Therapy
Physical therapy provides targeted exercises and hands-on techniques designed to strengthen and stabilize the muscles around the jaw. Stretching exercises help release tightness while strengthening routines support better jaw function. Our physical therapists may also incorporate manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization, to improve movement and reduce discomfort.
