Overview

What to know about TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction).

We provide manual therapy for the jaw and neck, posture correction, and habit modifications like stress management or using splints at night if bruxism is present. Precise exercises help realign the TMJ.

In Palm Beach County—covering Boynton Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth, and Boca Raton—patients often come to us with chronic jaw pain or recurring headaches. Early treatment may involve gentle joint mobilizations to reduce clicking or locking, plus soft-tissue release techniques for tight masticatory muscles. We then teach jaw exercises that improve opening mechanics, along with neck alignment drills to minimize tension in the upper spine. For many, reducing stress via biofeedback or relaxation strategies also significantly eases TMJ symptoms.

Headaches or earaches linked to jaw movement

Common Causes

Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

Recovery Outlook

Improvements can appear within a few weeks with consistent adherence to therapy and possible splint use. More severe cases may take longer. Throughout your sessions, we’ll track your ability to open and close the jaw without clicking or pain. With ongoing practice of the recommended exercises and posture adjustments, you can maintain healthier TMJ mechanics and experience fewer flare-ups, leading to improved comfort during chewing or speaking.
