Why TMJ Problems Develop

The jaw does not work alone. TMJ dysfunction is often connected to:

  • Tight jaw muscles

  • Teeth grinding

  • Stress and tension

  • Poor posture

  • Previous dental work

  • Injury or trauma

Many patients notice that their symptoms worsen during stressful periods or after long hours working at a computer.

How We Treat TMJ

Treatment is customized based on your symptoms and examination findings.

Your care may include:

  • Dry needling of the jaw, neck, and facial muscles

  • Acupuncture

  • Soft tissue therapy

  • Chiropractic care for postural and neck stress

  • Corrective exercises

  • Lifestyle and ergonomic recommendations

Dry needling is often one of the most effective tools for reducing tension in the masseter, temporalis, and surrounding muscles that contribute to jaw pain.
