TMJ Therapy
TMJ Therapy in Melbourne
Excruciating migraines. Intense facial pain. Aggravating earaches. If you suffer from any of these, you may have TMJ dysfunction. This joint dysfunction occurs when the temporomandibular joint alignment is off, possibly due to a bad bite or osteoarthritis. The TMJ joints allow jaws to open and close, as well as slide side to side and back and forth. Our jaw joints take a beating in the normal course of a day, just from talking, eating, and breathing. Add to that the tension caused by bruxism (nighttime teeth grinding), and TMJ dysfunction can become an immensely painful problem.
