Jaw Pain Treatment!

While most people associate chiropractors, physiotherapists, and massage therapists with care for problems associated with the back, neck, and spine, they may also be able to help relieve pain associated with your jaw, specifically TMJ, which can be a very common sore spot for many people. If you struggle with TMJ pain, Max Physiotherapy is pleased to offer various treatment options that effectively ease the pain from this common ailment.

What is TMJ Pain

Jaw Pain | Max Physiotherapy | Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage and Health & Wellness Clinic | NE Calgary

Jaw pain describes any pain that results from conditions affecting the jaw joints, jaw muscles, and facial nerves. It often exists when the connection point between the jaw and the skull becomes painful and swollen. TMJ syndrome specifically refers to a painful condition that affects the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles of the face, neck, and head. Pain is most noticeable with the movement of the jaw, especially when eating. In some cases, the jaw joint may click as the jaw opens and/or shuts.

Why is My Jaw So Sore?

The most common causes are clenching of the jaw and teeth grinding (bruxism). The misalignment of the teeth and/or jaw is also a major contributing factor to jaw pain.

How Can our Chiropractors
Alleviate Symptoms of TMJ?

Chiropractic Care for Jaw Pain | Max Physiotherapy | Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Massage and Health & Wellness Clinic | NE Calgary

A Chiropractor may help with TMJ by alleviating tension and dysfunction in the spine. As Chiropractors alleviate this dysfunction, it reduces the pressure on various nerves, which then alleviates pain associated with TMJ. Many people who have TMJ need continual care in order to keep the pain under control and manage other side effects.
