Specialized Physiotherapy for Jaw Pain and Dysfunction – Delivered at Your Doorstep

What Is TMJ Pain?

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. Disorders of this joint—referred to as TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders)—can cause pain in the jaw, face, neck, and head, affecting everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and even sleeping.

What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ disorders arise from muscle tension, joint misalignment, or repetitive stress. Common triggers include:

  • 🦷 Teeth grinding (bruxism)

  • 💥 Jaw trauma or whiplash

  • 🧱 Poor posture and neck strain

  • 😬 Excessive gum chewing or jaw clenching

  • 💤 Sleep disorders or improper sleeping position

  • 🦴 Arthritis in the TMJ

  • 😰 Stress and anxiety

Common Symptoms of TMJ Pain

Symptoms vary depending on the severity and origin but often include:

  • 🔊 Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth

  • ⚡ Jaw pain or tenderness

  • 🔒 Jaw locking or restricted mouth opening

  • 🎯 Referred pain in ears, temples, or neck

  • 🧠 Tension headaches and facial pain
