TMJ (Temporomandibular Joints)

Welcome to Harmony Physiotherapy &Health (HPH) Clinic!

Are you experiencing discomfort or pain in your jaw? You may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. TMJ disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth, difficulty chewing, and even headaches or earaches or ringing in the ears!

At HPH, our team of experienced physiotherapists specializes in effectively treating TMJ disorders. Through evidence-based practice and personalized care, we aim to help our patients find relief and improve their quality of life.

How Physiotherapy Can Help:

Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the management of TMJ disorders by addressing underlying musculoskeletal issues and promoting optimal jaw mobility & function. Our physiotherapists utilize a variety of techniques and modalities to address TMJ-related symptoms, including:

Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques such as massage and joint mobilizations can help reduce muscle tension and improve joint mobility in the jaw.

Exercise Therapy: Specific exercises targeting the muscles of the jaw and surrounding areas can help strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and promote proper jaw joint alignment.

Education and Self-Management Strategies: Our physiotherapists provide education on proper jaw home exercise programs, posture, and lifestyle modifications to help prevent aggravation of symptoms and promote long-term management of TMJ disorders.

Modalities: Ultrasound, laser therapy, and electrical stimulation may be used to reduce pain and inflammation in the TMJ region and neck muscles.

Relaxation Techniques: Stress and tension can intensify TMJ symptoms. Our physiotherapists can teach relaxation techniques to help alleviate muscle tension and promote relaxation of the neck & jaw muscles.
