Struggling with jaw pain, headaches, or neck tension? It might all be connected.
Did you know that the way we hold stress—especially during busy or emotionally charged periods—often shows up in our jaw?
Research shows that the medial pterygoid muscle, one of the key muscles involved in jaw movement, can carry significant tension when we’re stressed. This tension can lead to:
• Persistent jaw pain or tightness
• Clicking or locking of the jaw (TMJ dysfunction)
• Headaches, particularly around the temples
• Neck and upper shoulder pain
It’s all part of a bigger picture. At Evospine Chiropractic, I take a whole-body approach to jaw pain—looking beyond the jaw itself to assess posture, muscle imbalances, and lifestyle stressors.
The goal? Helping you find real, lasting relief without the need for muscle relaxant injections or medications.
If you’ve been clenching, grinding, or living with discomfort, let’s work together to restore function and comfort—naturally.
