Some major types, causes and how we treat them at our Chatswood chiropractic clinic.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)
This is a group of conditions that affects the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) which connects the jaw bone to the skull. Several structures in the jaw such as muscles, cartilage and ligaments may contribute to symptoms.
Muscle and postural dysfunction
Muscular tension from surrounding muscles in the neck and shoulder can cause pain in and around the jaw. This can be exacerbated by postural habits like prolonged sitting positions.
Manual therapy technique such as joint mobilisation/adjustment, dry needling and massage can be used to effectively reduce pain and improve function of the jaw.
