Jaw joint
when it hurts, clicks or grinds
We need the jaw joint for swallowing, speaking, chewing and yawning. Pain, clicking, locking or limited mouth opening can usually be treated well – often in cooperation with your dentist.
From cause to relief
- First visit
We listen to you
We talk about your problems, try to find possible triggers and set realistic goals.
- Examination
Jaw and neck
We examine the range of motion of the jaw joint and the state of the chewing muscles. We also check the neck, which is closely linked to the jaw.
- Therapy
We release and teach
After manual treatment of the jaw joint and the face and neck muscles we show you exercises for home.
- Long term
Together with your dentist
Exercise at home, adjusting your habits and, if needed, a splint from your dentist are the long-term way to improvement.
When to come
- pain in the jaw and face
- limited mouth opening
- clicking, popping or grinding in the joint
- locked jaw
- after demanding dental treatment
Possible causes
Problems often have several causes at once. Together we look for yours.
- congenital predisposition
- injury to the jaw or face
- dental treatment
- teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism), nail biting
- stress
- smoking
