TMJ Dysfunction
At CareDen, we offer specialised physiotherapy for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction, helping patients manage jaw pain, stiffness, clicking, muscle tension, and difficulty with jaw movement. TMJ problems can make everyday activities such as eating, speaking, yawning, and opening your mouth uncomfortable.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joints connect your jawbone to your skull and allow your jaw to move when you talk, chew, and yawn. Problems affecting these joints or the surrounding muscles can lead to pain, restricted movement, clicking or popping sensations, headaches, and discomfort around the face, jaw, neck, or ears.
How CareDen Can Help
Our physiotherapists carry out a detailed assessment of your jaw movement, muscles, neck, posture, and overall movement patterns. We then create a personalised treatment plan based on your symptoms and individual goals.
Treatment may include:
- Manual Therapy to help improve jaw and surrounding joint mobility.
- Soft Tissue Techniques to reduce tension in the muscles around the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders.
- Targeted Exercises to improve jaw control, strength, coordination, and movement.
- Postural Advice to address contributing factors that may place additional stress on the jaw.
- Pain Management Strategies to help you better understand and manage your symptoms between appointments.
Personalised TMJ Rehabilitation
At CareDen, we understand that TMJ symptoms can vary from person to person. Our approach focuses on identifying the factors contributing to your discomfort and providing practical treatment and rehabilitation strategies to support your recovery.
Whether your symptoms are recent or have been affecting you for some time, our goal is to help you achieve more comfortable jaw movement and return to your normal daily activities with greater confidence.
