TMJ Dysfunction & Jaw Pain

 

Jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty opening your mouth? You might be dealing with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction — a common but often overlooked cause of head and neck pain, especially in women.

COMMON SYMPTOMS INCLUDE:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness

  • Ear pain or discomfort

  • Pain when chewing, yawning, or clenching

  • Jaw stiffness, especially in the morning

  • Clicking or popping noises when moving the jaw

  • Headaches radiating from the jaw

  • A feeling of poor bite alignment

  • Linked to teeth grinding (bruxism)

TMJ dysfunction is treatable. Physiotherapists use proven, non-surgical techniques like manual therapy and targeted exercises to relieve pain and restore function.
