Did you know… TMJ and jaw pain can be more than just a bite issue? Those monthly hormone fluctuations—especially drops in estrogen—can make your jaw ligaments more flexible and prone to strain and inflammation. That means more clicking, pain, and headaches for many women, especially around their period.
Women experience TMJ issues much more often than men, thanks to the powerful connection between hormones, stress, posture, and jaw or neck tension. If you’re tired of living with jaw discomfort, there’s good news!
At Active Life Chiropractic, we offer gentle adjustments to boost jaw and neck mobility, relax and stabilize the surrounding muscles, and acupuncture to calm trigger points. Relief is possible, and care can be tailored for every phase of womanhood.
