Book an AppointmentWhat is jaw pain and tmj?
Jaw pain and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction are more common than many people realise, and more treatable. The TMJ is the joint connecting your lower jaw to your skull, and problems here can cause pain in the jaw, face, ears and temples, as well as headaches and difficulty opening the mouth fully.
TMJ dysfunction is often linked to muscle tension, teeth grinding (bruxism), poor posture, stress, or restriction in the neck and upper cervical spine. Because the jaw and neck are so closely connected, addressing both is often key to lasting improvement.
Common symptoms
- Pain in the jaw, face or temples
- Clicking, popping or grinding in the jaw joint
- Difficulty opening the mouth fully
- Pain with chewing or yawning
- Headaches, particularly around the temples
- Earache or a feeling of fullness in the ears
- Neck pain or tension associated with jaw symptoms
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
How we can help
Our approach to jaw pain combines gentle treatment of the jaw muscles and joint with osteopathic work to the neck and upper back, which frequently contribute to TMJ dysfunction. We also address postural factors and provide advice on habits, such as jaw clenching, chewing patterns and sleep position, that can perpetuate the problem.
We work collaboratively with dentists where appropriate, particularly when bruxism or bite issues are a significant factor.
