TMJ Treatment in Murfreesboro
The temporomandibular joint in your jaw allows you to eat, speak, yawn, and breathe. It’s the most-used joint in the body and often the most overlooked. If you are wrestling with the discomfort of temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) and have tried numerous intrusive methods that only offered fleeting relief, consider directing your efforts toward non-invasive chiropractic care, providing a natural approach to relieving jaw pain and other TMJ-related symptoms.

Symptoms of TMJ and How We Handle Them
When the muscles around the jaw are not moving as they should, the result can be issues like:
- Pain in the jaw
- Clicking in the jaw
- Earaches
- Ringing in the ear
- Headache
- Facial pain
- Dizziness
- Neck pain and stiffness
At its core, TMJ manifests as pain in one or both sides of your jaw, often accompanied by clicking or popping jaw joints.
Chiropractic care addresses the issue through the muscular system and jaw alignment. We thoroughly assess the jaw in resting and open positions to determine where the muscles are not working properly. Lifestyle factors such as incorrect posture may also contribute to TMJ problems.
With complementary care, when necessary, from dental professionals, our patients achieve remarkable results. If dental efforts haven’t fully resolved your TMJ issues, Dr. Josh will take care of any remaining musculoskeletal impediments. That may include manual adjustments and other modalities to relieve pain and restore function. We’ll also provide information to help you maintain a healthy jaw on your own, including specific exercises and ergonomic advice.
