TMJ Therapy

TMJ therapy - What is it?


Jaw pain or TMJ pain can be debilitating. It can make it difficult to enjoy your favorite foods and also lead to a long list of woes, from headaches to a stiff neck. There are many options to help you feel better, including TMJ therapy, splints, and repositioning the jaw.

On both sides of your head, in front of your ears, is the temporomandibular joint (the TMJ). It’s main purpose is to ensure your jaw moves smoothly, allowing you to eat, drink, and talk easily. Sometimes, however, this TMJ can become stressed or damaged, which causes irritation and pain - and sometimes a TMJ disorder.
