If you are struggling with jaw pain, clicking, or headaches? It could be related to your TMJ.

Benefits of TMJ Physiotherapy:
• Reduces jaw pain and tension
• Improves mouth opening and jaw movement
• Decreases clicking or popping
• Helps relieve headaches and neck pain
• Addresses teeth grinding and jaw clenching
• Improves posture to reduce strain on the jaw
Early treatment can prevent symptoms from getting worse and help you return to comfortable eating, speaking, and daily activities.

The presence of acid reflux is a lot more common that people think. It is often the reason why we clench or grind our teeth at night as our body stimulates saliva to neutralise acid. Do you suffer from any of the above symptoms?

Some people start grinding their teeth when they are wearing aligners(Invisalign) as they like to chew against the soft material- this can lead to TMJ pain(jaw pain). Studies show that it is not the orthodontic treatment causing the pain but it’s the patients habit of now grinding so very important not to clench or grind your aligners !
