What Our Patients Are Saying About TMJ Therapy

“Great services! Brody is truly an expert in jaw pain/TMJ issues. I developed jaw pain shortly after giving birth and was very stressed as I could barely chew. After seeing another physiotherapist who was useless, I decided to see Brody after he was recommended by another mom. Brody did a very thorough assessment and created a treatment plan with targeted exercises. My pain improved in a few days and was gone after a week. I strongly urge others seeking TMJ treatment to give him a try!”

TMJ FAQs

Reach out if you can’t find what you’re looking for.

TMJ disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including jaw injuries, arthritis, teeth grinding (bruxism), and stress, which can lead to muscle tension and jaw clenching. Misalignment of the jaw or dental issues can also contribute to TMJ problems.

Physiotherapy can help alleviate TMJ pain and improve jaw function through manual therapy, targeted exercises, and pain management techniques. Physiotherapists can also provide education on posture and lifestyle modifications to prevent further TMJ issues.

During your first session, a physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your symptoms, medical history, and the root cause of your TMJ disorder. Based on this evaluation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your specific needs.

The timeline for seeing results from TMJ therapy can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response to treatment. Some patients may experience relief after a few sessions, while others may require several weeks of consistent therapy to achieve significant improvements.
