TMJ Physical Therapy
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are disorders of the jaw muscles and the temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Any problem that prevents the complex system of muscles, bones and joints from working together in harmony may result in temporomandibular disorder.
Research strongly supports physical therapy in the treatment and management of TMD as a form of conservative treatment to decrease pain and improve the overall function of the jaw which can result in a reduction of headaches, enhanced sleep quality, and improve one's ability to open and close the jaw with less pain and/or clicking.
