TMJ Treatment FAQ's

What is TMJ disorder (TMD)?

TMJ disorder refers to dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint, the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. It can cause pain, stiffness, headaches, and difficulty with jaw movement.

TMJ pain can be caused by stress, teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), jaw misalignment, arthritis, injury, or tension in the surrounding muscles.

Our practitioners use gentle, non-invasive techniques such as buccal massage, manual therapy, and muscle release to reduce tension, improve mobility, and ease discomfort.

Anyone experiencing jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, clicking or locking in the jaw, or tension that radiates into the neck and shoulders may benefit.

TMJ treatments are gentle and designed to relieve, not add, discomfort. Some mild tenderness may occur as muscles release, but most clients find it deeply relieving.

Many clients notice improvements after just one session, but lasting relief typically requires multiple treatments, depending on the severity of symptoms.

This varies. Some people feel better after 2–3 visits, while others with chronic or severe TMJ issues may need ongoing care. Your practitioner will recommend a personalized plan.

Yes. By reducing tension in the jaw and surrounding muscles, TMJ care often decreases the frequency and intensity of headaches and migraines.

While TMJ therapy can ease muscle tension and reduce clenching, it may not fully stop grinding. It is often most effective when combined with other strategies like night guards or stress management.

Yes. Our practitioners use gentle, non-invasive techniques that are safe and can even help relieve jaw tension caused by stress or postural changes during pregnancy.

No. TMJ care is supportive and works alongside dental or orthodontic care, but it is not a substitute for medical or dental treatment.

Sessions usually last 30–60 minutes, depending on your specific needs and the techniques used.

Many extended health plans cover TMJ care if it is provided by a registered massage therapist, manual osteopath, or other covered practitioner. Check your plan for details.

Your practitioner will review your health history, assess jaw movement and tension, and then provide a personalized treatment using gentle techniques to target the affected areas.

Yes. Regular care can help maintain mobility, reduce muscle tension, and prevent flare-ups of jaw pain, headaches, and related symptoms.
