Dealing with jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing? These could be signs of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Many people are turning to chiropractic care for TMJ as a natural, non-invasive way to find relief. Dr. Serena Kleinstub specializes in chiropractic treatments that target the root causes of TMJ pain, helping patients restore comfort and function. If you’re tired of living with TMJ discomfort, chiropractic care could offer the solution you’ve been searching for.
What is TMJ Dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing you to chew, speak, and move your jaw. TMJ dysfunction occurs when this joint becomes misaligned, overworked, or inflamed, leading to pain and limited jaw movement.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction
- Jaw Pain or Tenderness: Discomfort near the jaw joint, which may radiate to the face, neck, or ears.
- Clicking or Popping Sounds: Noises when opening or closing the mouth.
- Difficulty Chewing or Speaking: A limited range of motion or pain when using the jaw.
- Headaches or Earaches: Pain that may stem from tension in the jaw muscles.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help with TMJ
Chiropractic care for TMJ focuses on improving the alignment of the jaw and relieving tension in surrounding muscles. At Dr. Serena Kleinstub’s office, we offer a comprehensive approach to TMJ dysfunction, addressing both the joint and the spine to promote overall alignment and function.
- Jaw Adjustments: Gentle adjustments to the TMJ can help realign the joint, reducing pain and improving mobility.
