The TMJ is one of the most complicated and sensitive joints in the body.

The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is one of the most complex and sensitive joints in the human body. Located on either side of the jaw, the TMJ plays a crucial role in speaking, chewing, and swallowing. When this joint becomes misaligned or stressed, it can lead to a variety of painful and debilitating conditions.

Common TMJ Disorders

TMJ disorders can manifest in many different ways, each with its own set of symptoms and challenges. Some of the most common TMJ conditions include:

  • Myalgia: Pain in the muscles that control jaw function
  • Myofascial pain disorder: Pain in the muscles and fascia surrounding the jaw
  • Subluxation: Partial dislocation of the TMJ
  • Degenerative TMJ disorder: Wear and tear on the cartilage and bone of the TMJ
  • Synovitis: Inflammation of the synovial membrane that lines the TMJ
  • Capsulitis: Inflammation of the capsule surrounding the TMJ
  • Osteoarthritis: Degeneration of the cartilage and bone due to aging or injury
  • Polyarthritis: Inflammation of the TMJ and other joints in the body

The Chiropractic Approach to TMJ Treatment

Chiropractic care offers a safe, non-invasive approach to treating TMJ disorders. By focusing on the alignment of the jaw and the surrounding muscles and joints, chiropractors can help alleviate pain, improve function, and prevent further damage to the TMJ.

Gentle, Targeted Adjustments

Our chiropractors use gentle, precise adjustments to realign the jaw and relieve tension in the surrounding muscles. These adjustments can help improve range of motion, reduce pain, and promote healing in the TMJ and surrounding tissues.

Personalized Treatment Plans

Every patient's TMJ disorder is unique, which is why we develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, your treatment plan may include exercises, stretches, and lifestyle modifications designed to support your recovery and prevent future TMJ issues.

“I used to have a really sore back that would prevent me from exercising fully. At times, I would have to take Ibuprofen just to survive my work commute. Thanks to Wyland, I’m back to exercising at my full potential. I can run, swim, and drive my long work commute without any pain!”
