TMJ Therapy
The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, connects your jaw to your skull in front of your ear. The TMJ hinges, allowing you to move your mouth when you talk, yawn, or chew. TMJ disorder is pain in and around your jaw. It may also include popping/clicking, ringing in the ears, headaches, limited mouth opening or a tendency for the jaw to “lock”. Physical therapy can be used to treat those symptoms by restoring proper jaw movement and lessening daily stress on the jaw.
Physical Therapists Can Help with TMJ Dysfunction Caused By:
- Bad posture habits
- Chronic jaw clenching & poor
- Sleep hygiene
- Problems with teeth alignment
- Fracture
- Surgery
- Trismus (lockjaw)
- Displacement of the disc
- Arthritis
