TMJ Treatments at Back At It

If you’re struggling with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), you’re not alone. Many people experience symptoms like jaw pain, headaches and difficulty chewing that can significantly impact their quality of life. At Back At It, we offer a range of effective treatments to help alleviate TMJ discomfort. Here’s a breakdown of how our various disciplines—Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Osteopathic Manual Therapy, and Chiropractic—can provide relief.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy focuses on relaxing the muscles surrounding the jaw and neck. By relieving tension and improving circulation, our skilled massage therapists can help reduce pain and discomfort associated with TMJ. Techniques such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy specifically target tight muscles, promoting relaxation and enhanced jaw mobility.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an ancient practice that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body. This therapy can effectively reduce TMJ symptoms by alleviating pain and inflammation. Acupuncture encourages the release of natural pain-relieving substances, promotes relaxation, and balances energy flow. Many patients find relief from tension and discomfort, making it a valuable part of their TMJ treatment plan.

Osteopathic Manual Therapy

Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) takes a holistic approach to treating TMJ. Our practitioners use hands-on techniques to restore alignment and function to the temporomandibular joint. By addressing muscle tension and improving joint mobility, OMT can alleviate pain, reduce clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, and enhance overall jaw function. Additionally, OMT focuses on educating patients about posture and self-care strategies, providing a comprehensive approach to managing TMJ.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is another effective option for managing TMJ dysfunction. Chiropractors evaluate the alignment of the jaw and its relation to the spine and neck. Through spinal adjustments and specific techniques aimed at the jaw, chiropractors can improve overall alignment, reduce tension, and enhance mobility in the TMJ. This method can alleviate pain and prevent future discomfort by addressing the underlying issues contributing to TMJ symptoms.
