TMJ Physiotherapy in Mississauga
Targeted treatment to reduce jaw pain, improve movement, and relieve tension.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and plays an essential role in chewing, speaking, and swallowing. When this joint becomes irritated or strained, it can lead to pain in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. At Holistic Medical Clinic, we use targeted physiotherapy techniques to reduce discomfort, restore jaw mobility, and improve overall function.
What Can Cause TMJ Dysfunction?
Common factors contributing to jaw pain
- Jaw injury or trauma
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching
- Poor posture
- Stress and muscle tension
- Arthritis affecting the jaw joint
- Misaligned bite or teeth
- Neck tension and muscular imbalance
- Repetitive strain on the jaw
