WHAT IS TMJ HEADACHE?
One of the most important joints in our body is the Temporomandibular (TMJ) joint. This TMJ joint connects our jaw to the skull. It is our most used joint. We use it for eating, talking, smiling, yawning and even breathing. Therefore when something goes wrong all these activities of daily living can be affected due to the pain from TMJ.

A TMJ dysfunction can be caused by a misalignment or injury of the teeth or jaw, stress, arthritis, grinding or clenching of teeth, poor posture or a Motor Vehicle Accident.
Common symptoms of TMJ disorders are the pain in your jaw, jaw clicking, locking of the jaw, jaw popping, jaw grinding, also difficulty in fully opening or closing of the jaw, ear pain or ringing in the ear and most importantly headaches.
TMJ PHYSIOTHERAPY TREATMENTS
TMJ Headaches are often caused by compression of the trigeminal nucleus, the largest nerve in charge of facial sensation. Decompression of these nerves is often successful in treating TMJ headaches.
It’s essential that proper medical attention is provided to the patient. For this purpose, our highly qualified TMJ Physiotherapists are trained to assess your TMJ disorder and provide the correct treatment. They will assess your jaw range motion, muscle length and tension, and also movement pattern and TMJ co-ordination.
In addition to this, exercises such as posture improvement, neck treatment, muscle lengthening, and TMJ Stabilization techniques are often provided.
