Jaw pain, clicking, or tension around the face and head can interfere with daily comfort and quality of life. If you are experiencing symptoms related to the jaw joint, Dr. Jacob Lapenskie offers chiropractic care that may help address TMJ-related discomfort in Ottawa.
​
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jaw to the skull. Dysfunction in this area can be influenced by joint mechanics, muscle tension, posture, and how the neck and upper spine are functioning.
​
Understanding TMJ Dysfunction
​
TMJ-related symptoms can vary and may develop gradually or following physical stress. Common symptoms associated with TMJ dysfunction include:
​
-
Jaw pain or tenderness
-
Clicking, popping, or grinding in the jaw
-
Facial or ear discomfort
-
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth comfortably
-
Headaches or neck tension associated with jaw movement
Because TMJ symptoms can have multiple contributing factors, proper assessment is important.
