Common Symptoms of TMJD

- Headaches or facial pain
- Tooth grinding or jaw clenching (especially at night)
- Limited jaw movement

What Causes TMJD?
TMJD often stems from multiple factors:
- Jaw injury or dislocation
- Arthritis or joint inflammation
- Poor posture or neck misalignment
- Teeth or jaw misalignment (malocclusion)
- Stress-related clenching or grinding
- Habitual gum chewing or nail biting
Even if the cause isn’t obvious, our team will assess your symptoms and identify what’s really driving your discomfort.

Your individualized treatment plan may include:
- Manual therapy to release jaw and neck tension
- Targeted exercises to restore mobility and strength
- Postural correction to reduce strain on the TMJ
- Education on habit changes, stress relief & nightguard use
If you’ve had TMJ surgery or a history of trauma, PT also plays a critical role in recovery — minimizing scar tissue, restoring function, and preventing relapse.
