TMJ

TMJ Pain

TMJ Treatment

The temporomandibular joint fastens the jaw to the skull and enables smooth sliding and hinge movement for comfortable biting, chewing, yawning and talking. Sometimes injury, stress, overuse and/or poor alignment causes “TMJ”—jaw pain and dysfunction. Our chiropractors, Dr. Lee, Dr. Melad and Dr. Samuelson, can help alleviate these symptoms:

  • Popping or clicking sounds when opening and closing the mouth
  • Jaw pain that sometimes spreads to the ears, neck, face or shoulders
  • Difficulty talking or chewing, with occasional jaw locking or grating
  • A change in the way the teeth fit together

TMJ Treatment in Irvine

Our chiropractor in Irvine can help you alleviate TMJ pain and it’s most common causes, which include:

Physical injury

A car accident injury, sports injury or other types of trauma can jar the temporomandibular joint out of proper alignment. When this happens, the soft tissues and bone grate against each other painfully.

Stress

Chronic stress and tension cause many people to clench their teeth frequently, or even grind their teeth while they sleep. Nighttime teeth grinding is called bruxism. Clenching and grinding both cause excessive stress on the temporomandibular joint, leading to pain, inflammation and other TMJ symptoms.

Our chiropractor is highly qualified to address these root causes of jaw pain and dysfunction, and provides several treatments to alleviate the causes to relieve the pain:

Chiropractic adjustments

Our chiropractor can correct any physical misalignments in the spine, the neck and the jaw that are causing pain. Making sure your jaw, neck and back are correctly aligned can relieve the jaw pain, as well as the headaches, neck pain and earaches that often accompany TMJ.

Myofascial Release

This gentle, sustained, hands-on pressure on specific muscles responsible for opening and closing the jaw helps relieve the tension and relax the jaw.

Therapeutic Exercises

Our chiropractor teaches you exercises that relax tight jaw muscles and improve range of motion.

So if popping, grating and pain have taken the fun and enjoyment out of eating and having a good conversation, please schedule an appointment to talk with Lee Chiropractic today. We can help relieve your stress and any other problems causing you jaw pain. Just call us in Irvine at

What is TMJ Treatment?
It is the treatment for the pain of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) or jaw. We have effective methods that can resolve these issues. This will usually involve a combination of chiropractic adjustments, muscle tension release techniques, laser therapy, and other therapies if necessary.
TMJ dysfunction can cause pain on either side of the jaw, the restricted opening of the mouth that can affect eating, and clicking and popping noises of the jaw.
TMJ dysfunction can occur from stress, injury, grinding at night, and overuse from eating hard foods or chewing gum excessively. Forward head posture due to prolonged use of computers and cell phones is also a leading cause of TMJ pain.
Yes, chiropractic treatment resolves the majority of TMJ cases.
It usually takes 1-3 months to effectively treat TMJ pain.
