TMJ Disorder

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is where your jawbone connects to your skull at the cheekbone. Just like any other joint, the TMJ can become inflamed due to any number of factors such as injury, arthritis, misalignment, chronic teeth grinding, or genetics. If left untreated, this inflammation can cause pain, difficulty eating, and even result in the jaw locking in place. Many patients diagnosed with TMJ disorder avoid surgery and medication by finding relief through physical therapy. At Action Physical Therapy, we offer targeted therapy programs that address TMJ disorder. We consider variables such as posture correction, jaw mobility, muscle strengthening, and stress management when tailoring your therapy program.
