TMJ disorders can cause significant discomfort, often manifesting as jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty moving the mouth. These symptoms are frequently linked to tension in the muscles or misalignment in the jaw joint, creating stress that affects daily life.

Chiropractors take a holistic approach to managing TMJ issues, focusing on the interconnected relationship between the jaw and the cervical spine. They use targeted adjustments to align the jaw and neck, reducing stress on the joint and easing pain. Soft tissue therapies, such as trigger point release, are often incorporated to relax surrounding muscles. Chiropractors may also recommend exercises to improve jaw function. This comprehensive care not only alleviates TMJ symptoms but supports overall structural balance.
