Overview
When You Need TMJ Treatment
Jaw pain, clicking or popping when you open your mouth, difficulty chewing, or headaches starting at the temple are common TMJ symptoms. Clenching or grinding your teeth at night, stress, or a previous dental procedure can all contribute. TMJ dysfunction is also linked to neck pain and upper back tension — which is why a physiotherapist trained in both jaw and neck mechanics is especially effective.
Signs You Should Come In
- ✔ Jaw pain, clicking, or locking when opening or closing
- ✔ Headaches starting near the temple or jaw
- ✔ Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully
- ✔ Jaw grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- ✔ Neck and jaw pain occurring together
How It Works
Our TMJ Treatment Process
Mahveen assesses the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and your neck posture. Treatment includes hands-on joint mobilization, soft tissue release of the jaw and neck muscles, and guided exercises to restore jaw movement. We also address contributing factors like neck tightness or postural habits that load the jaw. Most patients notice meaningful improvement within 4 to 6 sessions.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes TMJ dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction is usually caused by a combination of jaw joint stress, clenching or grinding, neck tension, and muscle imbalance. It is often worsened by stress. We address all contributing factors.
Is physiotherapy effective for jaw pain?
Yes. Manual therapy to the jaw joint, jaw and neck muscles, and posture work is well-supported for TMJ dysfunction — often more effective than splints or bite guards alone.
How many sessions does TMJ treatment typically take?
Most patients see significant improvement in 4 to 8 sessions. The timeline depends on chronicity and whether neck involvement is also present.
Is TMJ treatment covered by extended health?
Yes. Physiotherapy for TMJ is covered by most extended health plans as physiotherapy. We direct bill.
