At Forward Spine Center, we often see patients who spend long hours at a computer or who’ve been told by their dentist that they grind their teeth. In today’s video, Dr. Madeline demonstrates how chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work can help relieve jaw pain and tension caused by TMJ issues.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and is responsible for talking, chewing, and yawning. When it becomes tight or misaligned, it can cause:
-
Jaw pain or clicking
-
Headaches and facial tension
-
Neck or shoulder discomfort
These symptoms are often worsened by stress and poor posture.
How Chiropractic Care Helps
Chiropractic adjustments to the mid-back, neck, and jaw help restore motion and balance to the TMJ. Dr. Madeline uses gentle adjustments and soft tissue techniques to release tension in muscles like the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid—the main muscles involved in clenching.
Benefits include:
-
Better joint alignment
-
Reduced muscle tension
-
Improved posture and nerve function
Find Relief Naturally
TMJ pain and clenching can be frustrating, but chiropractic care offers a natural, holistic way to reduce tension and improve function.
