What is TMJ Physiotherapy?
If you’ve been struggling with jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty chewing, you might be dealing with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction. The TMJ is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, and when it’s not functioning properly, it can cause chronic pain, headaches, and even neck stiffness.
At Allied Physiotherapy Health Group, we specialize in TMJ physiotherapy to help restore jaw mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function. Through targeted techniques and a personalized treatment plan, our TMJ therapists in Surrey can help you find relief and prevent future flare-ups.
Common Conditions Treated with TMJ Physiotherapy
TMJ dysfunction affects more than just your jaw—it can impact your entire well-being. Our physiotherapists treat a wide range of TMJ-related conditions, including:
- Jaw Pain & Stiffness – Difficulty opening or closing your mouth.
- Clicking, Popping, or Locking Jaw – Sounds or sensations when moving your jaw.
- Headaches & Facial Pain – Often stemming from jaw tension and misalignment.
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Excessive clenching leading to jaw and neck pain.
- Ear Pain & Ringing (Tinnitus) – TMJ issues can contribute to discomfort around the ears.
- Neck & Shoulder Tension – Poor jaw alignment can cause pain beyond the jaw.
