TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a condition that affects the jaw joint. TMJ can cause pain, clicking, and popping in the jaw, as well as headaches, earaches, and dizziness.

Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment option for TMJ. Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat TMJ, including spinal adjustments, massage therapy, and rehabilitation exercises.

Spinal adjustments can help to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves that control the jaw joint, which can help to relieve pain and other symptoms of TMJ. Massage therapy can help to relax muscles and improve circulation in the jaw joint, which can also reduce pain and other symptoms of TMJ. Rehabilitation exercises can help to strengthen the muscles that support the jaw joint, which can help to prevent future episodes of TMJ.

If you are experiencing TMJ, talk to your chiropractor to learn more about how chiropractic care can help you.
