Temporomandibular Joint Pain...

In our team of physiotherapists we have a wide range of specialist expertise in treating TMJ.

The TMJ is used when we talk, yawn, eat, drink or chew. The TMJ is a complex joint. Problems with the TMJ include ear pain; facial pain; sore or tender jaw muscles; pain while swallowing, yawning, talking or chewing; jaw popping, clicking or locking.

TMJ problems can be caused by a range of factors such as movement of the disc, clenching or teeth grinding, stress, or injury. TMJ pain can be sharp or dull, intermittent or
constant and it can be
extremely debilitating.

Physiotherapy can help
TMJ problems through the
use of appropriate exercises
to strengthen the jaw and
neck. Modern techniques and
the development of correct posture can assist in improving the healing process.
