TMJ (Jaw) Dysfunction





The jaw is frequently unacknowledged as a source of pain in many head, neck and face conditions.

TMJ work can help with clients that have jaw pain associated with:

  • headaches
  • been in motor vehicle accidents
  • sport-related injuries
  • work injuries
  • grinding and clenching their teeth during sleep or stress
  • have had dental and orthodontic procedures

Assessment begins with looking at how symmetrically the mouth opens and closes. The function of the sinuses, ears, cranial bones, speech and breathing patterns will be considered. Massage therapy's wholistic approach will have a contribution in these related issues as well.
