What Is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to your skull, allowing you to talk, eat, and yawn.
When this joint becomes irritated, misaligned, or inflamed, it can lead to pain and tension that extend beyond the jaw to the head, neck, and shoulders.
TMJ disorders (often called TMD) can develop from stress, teeth grinding, poor posture, or injuries that affect the alignment of the jaw and spine.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
- Jaw pain or soreness, especially when chewing or opening the mouth
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw
- Headaches or migraines
- Ear pain or ringing in the ears
- Stiffness or limited movement in the jaw
- Neck and shoulder tension
- Difficulty fully opening or closing the mouth
Chiropractic Care for TMJ Pain Relief
At Lakota Wellness, Dr. Elyse and her team focus on addressing the root cause of TMJ pain—often involving misalignment and muscular tension in both the jaw and spine.
By improving joint function, reducing muscle tightness, and enhancing overall balance, we help your body heal naturally and restore comfort to your jaw movements.
Our TMJ treatment options include:
- Spinal and Jaw Adjustments: Chiropractic care, like manual, precise adjustments help correct misalignments that can contribute to jaw pain and tension.
- Soft Tissue Therapies (IASTM & Trigger Point Therapy): These techniques release tight muscles, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility in the jaw and surrounding areas.
- Rehabilitative Exercises: We guide patients through targeted exercises to strengthen and stabilize the jaw for long-term function and comfort.
- Advanced Modalities: Treatments such as cold laser therapy, shockwave therapy, and heat/cold therapy are used to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and speed up recovery.
Home Care and Lifestyle Guidance
To complement your in-office care, we provide personalized home recommendations designed to protect your jaw and support healing. These may include:
- Avoiding teeth grinding, clenching, or extreme jaw movements
- Using gentle stretching and relaxation exercises
- Applying heat or cold packs to ease soreness and reduce inflammation
- Maintaining good posture to minimize strain on the jaw and neck
