TMJ Pain Relief in Melbourne
Do you suffer from TMJ pain?
Our chiropractors are committed to providing our patients lasting relief from a variety of health disorders. One of the many ailments we treat on a regular basis at Coastal Chiropractic is TMJD.
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
- 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.
The Journal of Oral Rehabilitation recommends examination of the cervical spine in TMJD patients, even without cervical complaints. These findings are supported by the Journal of Cranio and Clinical Oral Investigation as well. At Coastal Chiropractic, we are trained to examine your neck and jaw to determine the best course of co-managed care with your oral health physician.
