TMJ Chiropractor in Juneau

TMJ dysfunction affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It can cause jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and even ear problems. What many people do not realize is that the cervical spine plays a significant role in TMJ issues, and chiropractic care can help.

The Spine-Jaw Connection

Your temporomandibular joint is directly influenced by the alignment of your cervical spine. When the upper cervical vertebrae are misaligned, the muscles that control your jaw can become imbalanced, leading to pain, clicking, and restricted movement.

Chiropractic adjustments to the cervical spine, combined with soft tissue work on the muscles of the jaw and neck, can significantly reduce TMJ symptoms. We also look at factors like stress, clenching habits, and posture that may be contributing to your condition.
