The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. You have one joint on each side of your jaw.

  • pain in the muscles that control jaw movement
  • headache
  • toothache
  • locking of the jaw and pain with opening and closing jaw
  • clicking of the jaw
  • trigeminal neuralgia

  • clenching or grinding of teeth
  • stress
  • misalignment of teeth
  • poor posture
  • arthritis

How Osteopathy can help TMJ pain

Osteopathic treatment can be very effective in relieving TMJ pain. To relieve your TMJ pain your Osteopath will:

  • use soft tissue techniques to loosen and release tight muscles connecting to the jaw that may be causing tension and pain
  • treat any movement restrictions of the jaw and assist to restore the correct movement and biomechanics to the TMJ
  • correct poor posture of the neck and upper back that may be leading to tightness and joint restriction in the muscles and joints surrounding and indirectly affecting the jaw
  • provide advice on stretches and exercises that may assist in alleviating pain and prevent a reoccurrence of symptoms

The most important part of any any injury is getting the correct diagnosis. As the leading and most experienced provider of Osteopathy, Pilates & Remedial Massage in Ivanhoe, we have been successfully treating TMJ pain for over 20 years.
