Jaw pain. Headaches. Clicking or locking.
TMJ dysfunction can impact your daily life— but you don’t have to live with it.
At Healing Motion, we help identify the root cause of your jaw pain and build a personalized plan to reduce tension, improve movement, and relieve pain.
What is TMJ Dysfunction?
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. The joint allows your jaw to move up and down and side to side so that you can chew your food, talk, and yawn. TMJ dysfunction (TMD, TMJD) is an umbrella term covering any abnormality of the muscles, bones, joints, and nerves in the area.
