TMJ Disorder Care in Burwood and Turramurra
Want to stop the pop or get rid of the click? At Wellness Chiropractic, we have considerable experience diagnosing and addressing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders or TMD. Our chiropractors are committed to helping you find relief from jaw pain and related symptoms.
Understanding TMD
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. It’s one of the most complex joints in your body, allowing for a wide range of movements essential for speaking, chewing, and facial expressions. When this joint is not functioning properly, it can lead to TMJ disorders (TMD), causing significant discomfort and impacting your daily life.
What Are the Common Symptoms?
TMJ disorders can manifest in various ways, including:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
- Facial pain
- Headaches
- Limited jaw movement
- Ear pain or ringing (tinnitus)
What Are the Causes
Several factors can contribute to TMD, including teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), arthritis in the joint, jaw injury or trauma, chronic stress, misalignment of the jaw or teeth, and poor posture.
Why Choose Chiropractic?
Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach to managing TMD. By addressing the root cause of your symptoms rather than just masking the pain, we aim to provide long-lasting relief and improved jaw function.
