Find Relief from TMJ Pain with Chiropractic Care

Do you suffer from:

  • Jaw pain or discomfort?
  • Headaches that originate in your jaw?
  • Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth wide?
  • Grinding or clenching your teeth (bruxism)?
  • Earaches or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)?

If so, you may be experiencing Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction.

What is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. When this joint becomes misaligned, it can lead to a variety of painful symptoms.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help TMJ:

Chiropractic adjustments can effectively address TMJ issues by:

  • Realigning the TMJ: Gentle adjustments can help restore proper alignment to the joint.
  • Balancing surrounding muscles: Chiropractic care can help relax overactive muscles and strengthen weakened ones, improving jaw function.
  • Reducing nerve pressure: Misalignments can put pressure on nearby nerves, contributing to pain. Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate this pressure.
  • Improving jaw tracking: Proper jaw tracking is essential for healthy function. Chiropractic care can help ensure your jaw moves smoothly and efficiently.

What Our Dentist Clients Say:

“Dr. Mayo has been instrumental in the way I, as a dentist, assess and treat TMJ and bruxism patients in my practice. She has not only been a great referral for my patients but has given me techniques I can pass on to them to help relieve symptoms. I can tell you from personal experience with my own TMJ problems that it works! With Dr. Mayo, you will have a partner in treating the common jaw ailments we see every day in dental offices.” – Dr. Jessica M. Vergel de Dios, DMD

“As a dentist myself I ironically suffer from bad TMJ related issues. I trust my care to Dr. Emily who is thorough, effective, and has a very vast understanding of what techniques work best for each individual case. She was able to produce immediate results by releasing the oral muscles both intra and extra orally and helped to alleviate general shoulder discomfort, which is all correlated. I most appreciated the time she took to explain each adjustment and how timely she always is for appointments. Highly recommend Dr. Emily!” -Dr. Ally S DMD
