TMJ Disorder Treatment in Meridian, ID

TMJ

TMJ pain occurs when there is a problem with the temporomandibular joint; the "hinge" that connects your jaw to your skull.

This can cause not only jaw pain but also:

Facial Pain
Headaches
Neck Pain

Often someone suffering from neck pain, or headaches don't even realize that the problem might be in the jaw. And many times those with TMJ don't realize that it is the TMJ that's causing their neck or back pain. Patients who suffer from TMJ pain can find temporary relief from massage, spinal manipulation, acupuncture, and even botox but these are expensive and the effects only last temporarily.

Gentle hands on manual therapy.
Education on the causes of your pain.
Training and techniques to help you recover and remain pain free.
