Chiropractic care can be an effective, non-invasive treatment for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ), which affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. TMJ often causes pain, restricted movement, headaches, and discomfort in the face and neck. Chiropractors focus on realigning the spine and improving the function of the nervous system, which can help alleviate the muscle tension and joint misalignment that contribute to TMJ symptoms. By adjusting the cervical spine and manipulating the jaw, chiropractors aim to restore balance to the musculoskeletal system, promoting better alignment and reducing stress on the temporomandibular joint. This holistic approach can relieve pain, improve jaw mobility, and address underlying postural or stress-related issues that exacerbate TMJ symptoms, offering patients a natural path to relief.
A non-invasive and holistic approach, chiropractic TMJ treatment looks beyond the jaw pain, addressing the root cause and the ripple effects on your body. It emphasizes the understanding that our body systems are interlinked. Realigning the jaw point can enhance its function, making daily activities like talking, yawning, and chewing much easier. This can significantly improve your quality of life. To schedule an appointment, please call 860-621-2225. Our clinic is located at 200 Queen St., Southington.
P.S. In addition to spinal adjustments, chiropractors may use soft tissue therapy, stretching exercises, and lifestyle advice to support TMJ recovery further.
