Jaw Pain & TMJ Relief in Surf City
If you’ve been experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty opening your mouth, you may be dealing with a condition called Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ. The TMJ is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, and when it’s out of alignment, it can cause discomfort and affect your day-to-day life. The good news? Chiropractic care can help.
What is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ Disorder happens when the temporomandibular joint (the TMJ) isn’t working properly. This can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Pain or tenderness in your jaw or around the face
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when moving your jaw
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully
- Headaches or migraines
- Pain in the neck, shoulders, or ears
- Teeth grinding (often while you sleep)
How Chiropractic Care Can Help
At 910 Chiropractic, we believe in a holistic approach to health. When it comes to TMJ, we know that it’s not just about the jaw – it’s about your overall alignment. That’s why we focus on treating the root causes of TMJ rather than just masking the symptoms.
Our chiropractic treatments for TMJ include:
- Spinal Adjustments: Sometimes, issues in your neck or spine can contribute to jaw pain. By adjusting your spine, we can relieve the tension that’s affecting your jaw and improve your range of motion.
- Jaw Adjustments: We use gentle techniques to realign the TMJ and help the jaw move more freely, reducing pain and discomfort.
- Posture Correction: Poor posture, like slouching or forward head posture, can put extra strain on your jaw. We’ll help you correct your posture to reduce the pressure on your TMJ and muscles.
- Muscle Relaxation: We’ll guide you through simple exercises and relaxation techniques to ease muscle tension and prevent further pain.
- Education: We want to make sure you fully understand what’s causing your symptoms and how to manage them. We’ll share tips and strategies to help you feel better every day.
Why Chiropractic Care for TMJ?
Here’s why chiropractic care can be the game-changer you need for TMJ:
- Natural, Non-invasive Treatment: Chiropractic care focuses on your body’s ability to heal itself – no surgery, no medications.
- Pain Relief: Adjusting your jaw and spine can help reduce pain and tenderness in the jaw, neck, and shoulders.
- Improved Mobility: As we realign your TMJ, you’ll notice that it’s easier to open and close your mouth without pain.
- Headache Relief: Since TMJ is often linked to frequent headaches, chiropractic care can help reduce or even eliminate these symptoms.
- Long-term Results: By addressing the underlying cause of your TMJ, chiropractic care helps prevent symptoms from returning.
