How TMJ Physiotherapy works
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to the skull just in front of the ears. They’re among the most used joints in the body, involved in talking, chewing and yawning. When these muscles work too hard, it results in pain and reduced jaw function.
Physio is very effective for TMJ disorders. We start with a thorough assessment of the jaw, its muscles and the surrounding areas which may be contributing.
Your treatment may include:
- Releasing tight muscles adn mobilising the joints
- Acupuncture or dry needling to ease painful trigger points
- Tailored exercises to relax overactive muscles adn improve movement
- Fairly immediate improvement in symptoms after treatment
