Temporo-Mandibular Joint Pain
Pain and dysfunction in the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) can be extremely
debilitating. Chronic jaw discomfort may lead to difficulty eating, anxiety,
stress, and loss of sleep.
If you suffer from TMJ pain, Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare
can help. We offer outpatient physical therapy services to relieve the
severity of temporo-mandibular dysfunction (TMD) symptoms. Casa Colina’s
experienced physical therapists provide the needed manual therapy, comprehensive
exercise, and educational programming to help patients increase jaw range
of motion, improve posture and jaw alignment, and decrease pain and discomfort.
Physical therapy is recommended for those with the following TMD symptoms:
- Difficulty biting, chewing, or opening the mouth fully
- Ear pain
- Migraine and tension headaches
- Jaw popping, clicking, or locking
- Jaw pain or tenderness
