The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull. When it is irritated you may get jaw pain, clicking, difficulty opening your mouth, headaches, or notice that you clench and grind your teeth.
Jaw problems are closely tied to neck posture and muscle tension, and that is exactly why physical therapy works well for them.
How we treat it
Assessment of the jaw joint, how you bite, and your neck and posture
Manual therapy for the jaw and neck muscles
Exercises to restore normal jaw movement and control
Relaxation strategies and habit changes for clenching and grinding
Dry needling for tight jaw and facial muscles where suitable
Postural correction to take load off the joint
What the sessions look like
We assess the jaw and the neck together, because one almost always affects the other.
Treatment is gentle and aimed at easing pain and getting movement back.
You also learn practical habits to protect the joint through the day.
Common questions
Can therapy help clicking and a jaw that locks?
Often, yes. Manual therapy and specific exercises can improve how the jaw moves, reduce the clicking, and make opening your mouth easier and less painful.
My dentist said I grind my teeth. Is that related?
Yes. Grinding and clenching load the joint and the surrounding muscles. We treat the muscle tension and the habits behind it alongside your dental care.
What jaw problems can physical therapy help with?
Jaw pain, clicking, difficulty opening the mouth, headaches linked to the jaw, and clenching or grinding. We assess the jaw and the neck together, because one almost always affects the other.
