If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking sounds when you chew, tightness in your jaw or neck, or even recurring headaches, you may be dealing with TMJ dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a crucial role in speaking, chewing, yawning, and other daily functions. When this joint isn’t working properly, it can have a noticeable impact on your comfort and wellbeing.

What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

Jaw pain and dysfunction often arise from a combination of physical, emotional, and postural factors. Common causes include:

• Teeth grinding or clenching, especially at night

• High stress levels, leading to increased muscle tension

• Poor posture, particularly forward head posture at a desk

• Jaw or neck misalignment, affecting joint balance

• Previous trauma to the face, head, or neck

These factors can lead to inflammation, tight or overworked muscles, joint misalignment, and compression of nearby nerves. In some cases, people with TMJ dysfunction also experience earaches, dizziness, or difficulty fully opening their mouths.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Chiropractic care offers a gentle, drug-free approach to treating TMJ dysfunction by addressing the root of the problem. At Glow Health, we assess not just the jaw, but the alignment of the entire spine—especially the neck and upper back. These areas often play a key role in jaw stability and function.

We use precise adjustments and soft tissue techniques to:

• Ease tension in the jaw, neck, and facial muscles

• Improve joint movement, restoring healthy jaw mechanics

• Relieve pressure on nerves, reducing pain and inflammation

• Enhance posture, taking strain off the jaw joint

• Reduce jaw clicking, locking, and associated headaches

Many patients begin noticing relief within a few sessions, with ongoing improvements in both comfort and function.

A Lasting, Natural Solution

Unlike medication, which only masks the symptoms, chiropractic care targets the root causes of TMJ dysfunction. It’s a safe, non-invasive option that supports your body’s natural healing abilities and provides long-term relief.
