If you’re experiencing jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding, or even ear discomfort, you might be dealing with TMJ disorder (TMJD). At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers in Westminster, our physical therapy team offers non-invasive, drug-free treatment plans designed to reduce your pain, restore jaw function, and help you feel like yourself again.

What Our Clients Say

What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder refers to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint, the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. When this joint is strained, irritated, or misaligned, it can cause a wide range of symptoms, including:

Clicking or popping sounds when you chew or open your mouth
Pain or tenderness in the jaw, face, or ears
Frequent headaches or neck stiffness
Limited jaw movement or locking
Teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching

TMJD can affect anyone and is often triggered by a combination of factors, including posture, stress, joint issues, or trauma to the jaw.

How Physical Therapy Can Help TMJ

Physical therapy offers a gentle, holistic way to treat TMJ pain by targeting the muscles, posture, and movement patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms. At FYZICAL Westminster, we start with a thorough evaluation to understand the root cause of your discomfort. From there, we create a personalized plan to reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and relieve pain.

TMJ Treatment May Include:

Manual therapy to reduce joint stiffness
Gentle stretching of the jaw and neck muscles
Postural training to reduce jaw stress
Soft tissue release to reduce tension and inflammation
Guided exercises to restore jaw movement
Education on jaw relaxation techniques and stress reduction
Recovery support before or after jaw surgery (if needed)
