Norwest Jaw physiotherapy (tmj)

At Norwest Central Physio, our jaw physiotherapy service helps alleviate pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. If you're experiencing jaw pain, clicking, grinding, or difficulty chewing, our physiotherapists can help.

TMJ (jaw) dysfunction also causes symptoms beyond just jaw pain:

Headaches & Migraines: Tension in jaw muscles can radiate to the head, leading to frequent headaches or migraines.
Ear Pain & Ringing: TMJ dysfunction often causes ear pain, a feeling of fullness, or tinnitus (ringing), due to its proximity to the ear canal. TMJ issues may also contribute to dizziness or balance problems.
Neck & Shoulder Pain: Strain from jaw misalignment can lead to discomfort and stiffness in the neck and shoulders.
Facial Pain: TMJ problems can trigger general pain in the cheeks, jaw, and around the eyes.
Toothaches or Grinding: TMJ issues can lead to teeth grinding (bruxism), worsening jaw pain and damaging teeth over time.
Difficulty Chewing: Restricted jaw movement can make opening the mouth and chewing uncomfortable or difficult.

How we treat jaw conditions

We begin with a thorough assessment of your jaw, neck, and upper body to understand the root causes of your symptoms.

Treatment includes gentle manual techniques to relax tense muscles, restore proper movement, and reduce strain on the jaw.

We also focus on posture correction and offer exercises to strengthen and improve the coordination of the muscles around the jaw.
