Jaw Pain (TMJ) Treatment in Palmwoods
At Vitalia Health Chiropractic, we understand how jaw pain (TMJ dysfunction) can impact daily life, making it difficult to eat, speak, or even relax. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a crucial role in jaw movement, and dysfunction in this area can lead to pain, clicking, or restricted movement. Chiropractic care may help relieve tension and improve jaw function naturally.
Are you experiencing any of the following?
Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
Difficulty chewing or jaw locking
Headaches or earaches linked to jaw tension
Facial pain or tension in the neck and shoulders
TMJ dysfunction can develop due to stress, poor posture, teeth grinding (bruxism), misalignment, or muscular imbalances. Identifying and addressing the root cause is essential for effective relief.
Jaw misalignment or poor posture
Teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching
Muscle tension in the face, neck, and shoulders
Stress and emotional tension
Dental work or previous jaw trauma
Common Causes of Jaw Pain:
At Vitalia Health Chiropractic, Dr Laura Brooks takes a holistic approach to TMJ dysfunction, focusing on restoring balance and function to the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles. Through gentle chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and postural correction, we aim to reduce tension, improve movement, and relieve pain.
Our treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify contributing factors. A personalised care plan may include targeted chiropractic care, jaw mobility exercises, and relaxation techniques to support long-term relief.
If further intervention is needed, we collaborate with dentists and other healthcare professionals to ensure a well-rounded approach to TMJ care.
Prevention and Education:
To minimise recurring jaw pain, we provide practical strategies such as stress management techniques, posture improvement, and guidance on reducing teeth grinding. Strengthening and relaxing the jaw muscles can also play a key role in long-term TMJ health.
