Chiropractic treatment of TMJD can alleviate symptoms by correcting misalignments in the spine and re-positioning the jaw.
Therapeutic exercises and improving posture also help to improve tracking and movement.
With proper care and treatment of spinal disorders, TMJD patients can achieve pain relief and correction.
TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) is a collective term for a broad range of disorders displaying a variety of signs including:
Radiating pain in the face, neck, or shoulders
Limited movement or locking of the jaw
Painful clicking or grating when opening or closing the mouth
Significant change in the way the upper and lower teeth fit together
Symptoms can also include headaches, earaches, dizziness, hearing problems, and difficulty swallowing
These findings are supported by the Journal of Cranio and Clinical Oral Investigation as well.
At Restoration Health, we are trained to examine your neck and jaw to determine the best course of co-managed care with your oral health physician.
