physiotherapy
Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals with a significant role in health promotion and treatment of injury and disease. They combine their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. The primary goals of physiotherapy treatments are to restore function, relieve pain, and provide education and strategies to prevent dysfunction from reoccurring.
physiotherapy for TMJ
TMJ physiotherapy focuses on the assessment and treatment of jaw pain, headaches, facial pain, and neck pain related to dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles. Treatment uses an evidence-informed approach to improve jaw function, reduce pain, and address the underlying factors contributing to your symptoms.
Common conditions treated include:
Jaw pain or stiffness
Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
Pain with chewing, talking, or yawning
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching
TMJ-related headaches
Muscle tension in the jaw, face, and neck
Cervical spine dysfunction contributing to jaw pain
Treatment may include hands-on manual therapy, joint mobilization, myofascial release, therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular retraining, postural correction, breathing strategies, and education to help you manage symptoms and return to daily activities with greater comfort.
Whether your symptoms are new or longstanding, TMJ physiotherapy aims to improve jaw function, reduce pain, and address the underlying factors contributing to your condition.
