TMJ / Jaw Pain

Problems with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be very painful. We get many people coming to us for help when they can no longer eat "chewy" foods, have difficulty opening their mouth wide or have pain and headaches related to their jaw.

Many people have also consulted with a dentist. Teeth clenching and grinding can be a cause of or a symptoms of TMJ pain and dysfunction. Dentists will often refer to us when splints and other treatments have not been successful in reduce your pain and symptoms. Our approach is simple. We assess the movement of your TMJ, and the function of the muscles that control it. Through the use of simple massage techniques and exercises, we can reduce TMJ pain quickly. Hopefully we can help you get back to eating steaks and lollies in a short period of time.
