Jaw pain

Chiropractic care can be an effective approach to alleviating jaw pain, particularly when the pain is related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Chiropractors focus on the alignment of the spine and musculoskeletal system, which can influence the function of the jaw. By performing specific adjustments to the jaw, neck, and upper spine, chiropractors can help reduce tension and misalignment that may contribute to TMJ dysfunction. Additionally, chiropractic care can improve the overall posture and balance of the muscles surrounding the jaw, potentially easing pain and restoring normal jaw movement. In some cases, chiropractors may also recommend exercises, stretches, and lifestyle modifications to support the healing process and prevent future episodes of jaw pain.
