TMJ Disorders
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, ear pain, and limited jaw mobility. TMJ disorders can result from factors like misalignment, teeth grinding, stress, or injury. Chiropractic care and medical massage therapy offer effective ways to alleviate TMJ pain, improve jaw function, and reduce muscle tension for long-lasting relief.
How Chiropractic Care and Medical Massage Therapy Work Together
Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic adjustments target misalignments in the neck, spine, and jaw that may contribute to TMJ pain and dysfunction. By improving alignment, chiropractic care reduces pressure on the jaw joint, alleviates pain, and restores proper jaw function.
Medical Massage Therapy: Massage therapy focuses on relieving muscle tension in the jaw, neck, and shoulders. Techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release help relax the muscles around the TMJ, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation, which supports pain relief and functional recovery.
Combined Benefits: Chiropractic and massage therapy together address both structural and muscular factors contributing to TMJ disorders. Chiropractic adjustments help realign the jaw and relieve pressure on the joint, while massage therapy releases muscle tension and improves blood flow, offering comprehensive relief for TMJ symptoms.
