Treatment for jaw pain, headaches and neck tension

Jaw pain, clicking, headaches or chronic neck and shoulder tension are often linked to dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).

TMJ therapy focuses on restoring normal jaw function, reducing muscle tension and addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms.

Treatment for jaw pain headaches

TMJ therapy is a specialised physiotherapy approach that assesses and treats the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles.

Problems in the jaw are often connected to:

  • neck posture
  • muscle tension
  • stress
  • teeth clenching or grinding

 

TMJ therapy looks at the whole picture not just the jaw itself.
