TMJ, Jaw Pain and Grinding
TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, and jaw pain can significantly impact your quality of life, affecting your sleep, breathing, and overall health. We use gentle, hands-on techniques to address jaw tension and pain to improve upper airway function, and enhance overall breathing mechanics. Our goal is to alleviate pain, improve sleep quality, and promote better overall function.
Many of our osteopaths have done additional training in managing jaw problems. We also receive referrals from many wholistic functional dentists who address TMJ dysfunction with special appliances to support theses conditions. Our osteopaths collaborate with these dentists using specific cranial techniques and often treat patients with their splint/appliance in the mouth to help the cranium and body adapt and support the dental appliance. This helps patients adapt to these oral appliances more comfortably.
