If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or your dentist keeps mentioning worn enamel—your body is crying out for help 🗣️
Jaw clenching and grinding isn’t just a “stress habit.” It’s your body’s protective response, trying to stabilize an unstable joint and keep your airway open, especially at night.
The problem with mouthguards:
They protect your teeth from damage, but they don’t stop you from clenching. They don’t address WHY your body feels the need to stabilize in the first place. Your nervous system is still in overdrive, your muscles are still firing all night, and the root cause remains unaddressed.
Our ancestors chewed bones, tough meat, gristle, nuts, and seeds—building strong jaws, developed facial structures, and powerful tongue muscles. Today’s soft, processed foods require minimal chewing. Over generations, we’ve developed weaker jaws, underdeveloped facial structures, and tongues that lack the strength to rest properly. Add nutrient depletion, and you have widespread jaw instability.
Through gentle, specific adjustments to your neuro-spinal system—including the cranial bones and TMJ—we help:
✨ Support cranial stability so your body doesn’t compensate with clenching
✨ Release tension in the TMJ and restore proper joint movement
✨ Address tongue tension and improve tongue posture for better airway support
✨ Calm your nervous system so your body feels safe enough to actually rest
When your body is at ease and your nervous system is clear and connected, you don’t need to recruit those jaw muscles for protection anymore.
You can finally rest without being in defense mode.
Jaw clenching is your body asking for stability and regulation—not just a mouthguard.
Let’s get to the root cause 💛
