Temporomandibular Joint/Muscle Disorder (TMJ)
The jaw, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ), is a pivotal junction that connects your jaw to your skull. Just like any other part of the body, the TMJ can commonly encounter pain and dysfunction, impacting various aspects of your life. From chewing and talking to experiencing daily discomfort and headaches, TMJ issues can be quite disruptive.
This is where effective treatment comes into play. Treatment for the TMJ is tailored to address the intricate balance of muscles, ligaments, and joints in the jaw region, and sometimes the neck. By delving into the root causes of your discomfort, a specialized therapist can offer guidance and support throughout your journey to relief.
