Jaw and TMJ Support in Auckland
Understanding TMJ Dysfunction
Jaw pain or stiffness is often more than a local issue. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects closely with the upper spine, neck, and nervous system. When movement in this area is restricted, it may show up as clicking, locking, or discomfort in the jaw. Stress patterns, such as clenching or grinding, can add to the tension, making everyday activities like talking, chewing, or even sleeping more difficult.
How Chiropractic May Help
TMJ dysfunction is often linked to imbalance in the upper neck and surrounding nerves. Gentle chiropractic adjustments can support improved motion in both the jaw and spine, helping the body work more smoothly.
Alongside adjustments, we may guide you with strategies to reduce clenching, manage stress, and ease pressure on the jaw muscles. By addressing these patterns at their source, many people find they’re able to experience more comfort and fewer flare-ups over time.
