What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder refers to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint, the hinge-like joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. This joint allows for movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMJ disorders can occur when the patient's joint becomes misaligned, inflamed, or strained, leading to pain and restricted jaw movement.

Common symptoms of TMJ disorder include:

Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
Difficulty chewing or speaking
Lockjaw or difficulty fully opening or closing the mouth
Headaches, neck pain, or earaches
Facial swelling or tenderness
Pain that radiates into the neck and shoulders

Common Causes of TMJ Disorder

Temporomandibular joint disorders can develop for a variety of reasons and often result from a combination of factors. Some of the most common causes include:

Misalignment of the teeth or jaw can cause the TMJ to become unbalanced, leading to strain and discomfort in the joint.

Constant grinding or clenching of the teeth, often occurring during sleep, puts significant stress on the TMJ, leading to inflammation, muscle tension, and pain.

Direct injuries to the jaw, head, or neck, such as whiplash from a car accident or a fall, can sometimes damage the TMJ and surrounding tissues, triggering the onset of TMJ disorder.

Unfortunate degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the TMJ, causing inflammation, joint damage, and reduced mobility.

High levels of stress can lead to unconscious clenching of the jaw or tightening of the facial muscles, which can contribute to TMJ pain.

Incorrect posture, particularly when sitting for long periods or using devices like phones and computers, can lead to misalignment of the spine and neck, which may affect the jaw's position and function.

Highly, highly recommend.

"Welcoming atmosphere right when you walk in. Love the staff. Love Dr. Carr—I have been to many chiropractors in my life for my back and hip pain and he really is the best. Normally I would be nervous to see another chiropractor in the same office but they really are all great. He must do some crazy training with them which is so nice in case he is out of the office. I am thankful to be pain free! Highly highly recommend!!"

Passion for what they do

"I had been struggling with persistent right hip pain for months, trying two different chiropractors and even a physical therapist, but nothing seemed to make a difference. A friend recommended 100% Chiropractic, and I decided to give it a try. After just two weeks of treatment, my pain and discomfort have improved by about 70%! What really stands out is not only the results but also their genuine care, passion for what they do, and the way they build a personal connection with you. It's both comforting and reassuring to be treated by a team that truly goes above and beyond."

Amazing care for our family.

"Dr. Charly has seen our son since he was a couple weeks old and has done an amazing job. Our son got so excited to see her twice a week. She was able to help him with latching during nursing and help him stop turning his head to one side while in his car seat. She also helped me with feeling better and not get post partum depression and anxiety. Thanks to her I was able to nurse our son like I wanted and get him weaned off using a nipple shield. Dr. Charly and Dr. James are both two very amazing and kind hearted people and I am honestly really appreciate all of what they did for us and can't thank them enough. I 100% recommend coming here not only will you get the best care you'll also get to meet some of the nicest most caring people ever."

They genuinely care about you

"If you are looking for a great Chiropractor you've found it. Dr. Parisa and the entire staff genuinely care about your health and wellbeing, starting with a comprehensive evaluation they help you establish goals that fit your lifestyle and then help you every step of the way to accomplish those goals. I have a lot of complex muscle and joint issues from previous injury, and was suffering from very tight muscles, my neck was out of alignment, along with a number of other issues. And I noticed an immediate improvement practically same day after my first adjustment, and I continue to improve more and more. Even if you don't think you need it, you'll be surprised how much it can help."

Conditions Treated with Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments are effective for a wide variety of conditions that affect the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. Some of the most common conditions we treat with chiropractic adjustments include:

Chiropractic adjustments are a key part of TMJ treatment. Misalignments in a patient's spine, particularly in the cervical (neck) region, can affect the positioning and function of the jaw. Our TMJ chiropractors use gentle, precise adjustments to realign the spine and reduce pressure on the nerves and muscles that control the TMJ. By improving the alignment of the neck and spine, chiropractic adjustments help relieve tension in the jaw and allow the TMJ to move more freely.

Muscle tension plays a major role in TMJ pain. Our chiropractors use soft tissue techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and massage to relax the muscles of the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. This reduces pain and inflammation, eases tightness, and improves blood flow to the affected areas, promoting healing. Muscle release therapy is particularly effective for patients who suffer from teeth grinding or clenching.

In addition to adjustments and muscle release, we provide personalized exercises designed to strengthen and stretch the muscles surrounding the TMJ. These exercises can help improve jaw mobility, reduce tension, and support long-term recovery. Our TMJ chiropractors will guide you through exercises that can be performed at home to maintain jaw health and prevent future TMJ issues.

Poor posture, especially involving forward head posture, can exacerbate TMJ aches and pains by placing additional stress on the jaw and neck muscles. Our chiropractors provide posture correction tips and ergonomic advice to ensure that your daily habits support proper alignment and reduce strain on the TMJ. This may include adjustments to your workspace, sleeping position, or phone use to prevent further jaw tension.
