TMJ Joint Dysfunction
Jaw Pain or Clicking? Let’s Talk TMJ
Do you experience jaw pain, clicking, or tightness when you chew, yawn, or talk? Does your jaw feel locked, or are you getting headaches, neck tension, or even ear pain that seems connected to your jaw?
You could be dealing with TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) dysfunction, and the good news is, physiotherapy can help.
At Head 2 Toe Solutions, we offer gentle, effective treatment for jaw-related pain to help you feel more comfortable and in control again.
What is TMJ Dysfunction?
The TMJ is the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, located just in front of each ear. It plays a vital role in chewing, speaking, and everyday movement.
TMJ dysfunction occurs when the joint becomes inflamed, irritated, or misaligned. This can lead to:
- Jaw pain or tightness
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
- Limited or painful mouth opening
- Headaches or migraines
- Ear pain, pressure, or ringing (tinnitus)
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Facial pain or clenching, especially at night
It’s often linked to stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), poor posture, or even previous trauma to the face, head, or neck.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Our skilled physiotherapists are trained in assessing and treating jaw pain using gentle, evidence-based techniques to reduce symptoms and improve jaw function.
Your treatment may include:
✔️ Manual therapy – to release tension in the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles
✔️ Intra-oral techniques – gentle release of tight jaw muscles from inside the mouth (only with your consent)
✔️ Dry needling – to reduce trigger points in the jaw and face
✔️ Postural correction – especially if neck or upper back posture is contributing to your pain
✔️ Relaxation strategies – to address jaw clenching or teeth grinding caused by stress
✔️ Home exercises and education – so you can take control of your recovery
Our goal is to reduce your pain, restore normal movement, and prevent future flare-ups, without
