Dr. Jacob Lapenskie

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.

How Chiropractic Care May Help TMJ

Chiropractic care for TMJ focuses on addressing joint function and muscle tension that may be contributing to jaw discomfort. For patients seeking TMJ care in Ottawa, treatment may help by:

Reducing muscle tension in the jaw, neck, and upper back
Improving mobility of the jaw and surrounding joints
Addressing postural factors that may affect jaw mechanics
Supporting more comfortable jaw movement

Care is individualised and based on clinical findings and patient comfort.

Is TMJ Care Right for You?

TMJ care in Ottawa may be appropriate for adults experiencing jaw-related discomfort, tension, or restricted movement. You do not need to be experiencing severe pain to seek care, and early assessment may help prevent symptoms from becoming more persistent.

If you are unsure whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your TMJ symptoms, a consultation can help determine suitable next steps.
