If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking, popping, headaches, or pain when chewing, you may be dealing with TMJ dysfunction. TMJ dysfunciton is a common but frustrating condition affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). At Edge Health Barrie, we offer effective, non-invasive treatments through gentle, evidence-based chiropractic care.
Our chiropractors help patients reduce pain, restore jaw movement, and correct underlying causes of TMJ dysfunction using a comprehensive, hands-on approach. If you’ve been searching for a TMJ chiropractor in Barrie, you’re in the right place.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction (also known as TMD) occurs when the jaw joint and its surrounding muscles aren’t working properly. This can lead to symptoms such as:
-
Jaw pain or tenderness
-
Clicking, popping, or grinding
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Ear pain or pressure
-
Facial tightness
-
Neck and upper back tension
-
Limited jaw movement or locking
TMD is often caused by jaw clenching, teeth grinding (bruxism), posture imbalances, neck misalignment, or stress. These triggers are extremely common, especially for people who sit at computers all day.
How Chiropractic Care Helps With TMJ Dysfunction
Chiropractic treatment can be highly effective for TMJ dysfunction—especially when the pain is related to muscle tension, joint restriction, or alignment issues in the jaw and neck. At Edge Health Barrie, our chiropractors use specialized techniques to reduce pain naturally and restore normal jaw mechanics.
Here’s how chiropractic helps:
1. TMJ Joint Mobilization
Gentle, targeted mobilizations help improve the movement of the jaw joint, reduce clicking, and decrease inflammation.
2. Cervical Spine Adjustments
Neck misalignments often contribute to TMJ issues. Correcting the upper cervical spine reduces tension, improves nerve function, and helps the jaw work smoothly.
3. Soft Tissue Therapy for Jaw Muscles
Tightness in the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles is a major cause of jaw pain. Releasing these muscles can dramatically reduce symptoms.
4. Posture Correction
Forward head posture places strain on the jaw. Our chiropractors assess your posture and provide exercises to support long-term TMJ relief.
5. Personalized TMJ Exercises
We teach controlled jaw movements, breathwork, and relaxation strategies to reduce clenching and prevent flare-ups.
Using chiropractic care for TMJ pain can help reduce inflammation, improve jaw movement, ease headaches, and prevent symptoms from returning.
