What is TMJ? If you place your fingers in front of your ear you will feel lots of wiggling which is where your skull ( the temporal bone) attaches with your jaw (the mandible) forming the TMJ and involves the muscles needed for chewing. TMJ is an abbreviation for temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Symptoms include pain with chewing, opening/ closing of the jar, ear aches, facial pain or tenderness, clicking/ popping, etc...

After a thorough assessment is done to find the cause of the pain gentle noninvasive techniques are used to adjust the area. This is done by adjusting the misalignments
of the jaw, neck, base of the skull, and relieving the surrounding muscles causing irritation. The treatment is gentle and effective for children and adults of all ages with the technique used tailored to patient comfort.
