Symptoms of TMJ

TMJ can produce various symptoms that come and go. Some of these symptoms include:

  • Chronic pain or dull pain in your jaw
  • Pain that radiates to the ear and gets worse with chewing
  • Locked jaw when trying to open your mouth
  • Teeth grinding at night
  • Clicking or popping sounds in your ears
  • Pain that gets worse throughout the day
  • Neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches

Diagnosis for TMJ

When you visit us, we will speak with you about your symptoms and perform an evaluation to learn more about your condition. Since TMJ can also be due to genetics or a jaw injury, we may take x-rays to have a better understanding of your disorder. We recommending visiting us as soon as you notice symptoms so we can provide you with prompt treatment.

Chiropractic Care for TMJ

An accurate diagnosis is essential to effective care. Once our chiropractors confirm a TMJ diagnosis and determine the root cause of your pain, we can create a treatment plan that will ease your symptoms. We may manipulate the muscles in and around the mouth to prevent knots that cause jaw pain from forming. We may also use cold laser or ultrasound to help reduce your pain. Our chiropractors can work with your dentist as well to prescribe devices you can place in your mouth to help your jaw to heal.
