Osteopathy for Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Pain

TMJ pain affects the joint where the skull and lower jaw meet. While not usually serious, it can significantly impact your quality of life. Common symptoms, which may last for several months, include:

• A clicking or popping sound when chewing or moving your mouth

• Difficulty opening the mouth, with the jaw feeling stuck

• Muscle spasms around the jaw

• Headaches and/or earaches

Osteopathic treatment can help alleviate these symptoms by gently manipulating the joint, improving its movement, and massaging the surrounding muscles. This can reduce pain, improve function, and help with the overall healing process.
