What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to the skull and guides every bite and word. When the joint or its surrounding muscles become irritated, you may experience:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Clicking, popping or grinding sounds
- Limited mouth opening or locking
- Headaches, earaches or neck tension
Common Triggers of TMJ Pain
Several factors can strain your TMJ and lead to lasting discomfort:
- Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
- Poor posture that pulls the head forward and tenses neck muscles
- Stress-related jaw tightness
- Arthritis or cartilage wear in the joint
- Trauma or misalignment from dental work or injury
Identifying your personal triggers is key to a successful recovery.

Our non-invasive, drug-free approach combines:
- TMJ Mobilizations & Adjustments—gentle realignments to improve joint glide and reduce pressure
- Soft-Tissue Therapy—myofascial release and trigger-point techniques to loosen tight muscles in the jaw, neck and shoulders
- Therapeutic Exercises—tailored stretches and strengthening drills to support TMJ stability
- Posture & Ergonomic Coaching—practical guidance on sleep positions, desk setup and daily habits to minimize joint stress
- Relaxation Techniques—breathing and stress-management tools to lessen involuntary clenching
Each modality works together to decrease pain, improve function and prevent flare-ups.
