Jaw pain
What is the condition?
Jaw pain or pain in the temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are commonly treated by our physios. These may present as; locked jaw, toothache or ear pain, tenderness around the jaw or general pains in the neck. There are a number of different causes of jaw pain or TMJ, some of these include teeth grinding, dental work or injury.
How do we treat jaw pain?
Assessment:
Your physio will have a chat with you about your condition. They will take a medical history, review your symptoms and may do various tests and measures to ensure they have a good understanding of your issue.
Treatment of acute symptoms:
Your physio treatment may include manual therapy of jaw, TMJ and surrounding muscles including chewing muscles inside the mouth. Massage and Dry Needling may be used and home exercise may also be given. We use an app called PhysiApp which enables you to complete your exercise program by following simple, narrated exercise videos.
