                  <p>A number of factors may cause the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to become irritated, inflamed, and painful. Overuse or inadequate patterning of the muscles that govern the jaw, sleeping posture, postural problems, grinding, jaw or dental surgery, or injury are all possible contributors. Fortunately, the great majority of people with TMJ issues react effectively to conservative treatment methods (such as physiotherapy). Physiotherapy is the most effective first-line treatment for TMJ discomfort or loss of movement.

		 TMJ dysfunction (abbreviated as 'TMD') is a disorder that causes discomfort in the jaw joint(s) and/or surrounding muscles. This disorder may cause substantial loss of function, including discomfort or reduced motion during eating, opening, and yawning. This disorder may affect either one or both sides of the jaw. Other signs of TMD dysfunction include clicking or crunching in the jaw, occasional locking when opening or shutting the mouth, headaches (typically in the 'temples' on the sides of the head), and neck discomfort and/or stiffness. Pain and stiffness symptoms are often more apparent in the morning and during or after meals.

You do not have to live with this condition. Surgery is not an option for the majority of individuals. Physiotherapy may successfully treat TMJ discomfort and dysfunction, as shown by a significant body of clinical research and the larger rehabilitation community.

In addition to hands-on treatment and exercise to improve jaw function, our TMJ physiotherapists in Alliston can assist their patients comprehend their problem. Educating patients on how to not only heal, but also how to care for their jaw muscles and joints to avoid future problems, is an essential component of good rehabilitation. A comprehensive approach to TMJ physiotherapy may successfully cure TMJ issues while lowering the likelihood of recurrence.
