Jaw Pain Treatment Randwick
Do You Need Help with TMJ or Jaw Pain?
At Fika Chiropractic, we understand how painful and disruptive TMJ (temporomandibular joint) or jaw pain can be. Whether it's causing discomfort during chewing, speaking, or simply daily movements, we are here to help you recover naturally and find lasting relief.
Do you experience any of the following?
Pain or tenderness in your jaw, especially when chewing or speaking
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when moving your jaw
Difficulty opening your mouth wide
Jaw stiffness or tightness, particularly in the morning
Headaches or migraines related to jaw pain
Ear pain or a feeling of fullness in your ears
Pain in the face, neck, or shoulders associated with jaw movement
Limited jaw movement or jaw lock
TMJ and jaw pain are common conditions that can significantly impact your ability to function normally. They can result from various factors, including jaw misalignment, muscle tension, or stress, and often go hand-in-hand with tension headaches or neck pain. It’s essential to address jaw pain early on to prevent it from becoming a chronic issue.
Common Causes of TMJ and Jaw Pain
TMJ and jaw pain can result from several causes, including:
Poor posture or spinal misalignment affecting the jaw
Teeth grinding or clenching (often caused by stress or anxiety)
Injury or trauma to the jaw or face
Misalignment of the teeth or jaw (malocclusion)
Arthritis or joint inflammation
Muscle tension in the face, neck, or shoulders
Habitual jaw movements, such as chewing gum or clenching
Stress and anxiety leading to jaw tension
Our Approach to TMJ and Jaw Pain Treatment
At Fika Chiropractic, we take a comprehensive, holistic approach to treating TMJ and jaw pain. Rather than just focusing on the jaw itself, we look at the whole body, including your posture, neck, and spine, to address the root causes and provide lasting relief.
Step 1: Accurate Diagnosis
Your recovery starts with a thorough consultation and examination. We will assess your jaw, neck, and spine to identify the cause of your TMJ or jaw pain. We may also perform additional tests or imaging if required to ensure an accurate diagnosis.
Step 2: Tailored Treatment Plan
Once we understand the source of your discomfort, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan that may include:
Chiropractic adjustments to align the spine and relieve tension affecting the jaw
Soft tissue therapy and myofascial release to ease muscle tension in the jaw and surrounding areas
Jaw mobilisation techniques to improve movement and reduce discomfort
Relaxation techniques or exercises to reduce stress and prevent teeth grinding
Advice on posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle changes to reduce strain on the jaw
Step 3: Prevention and Ongoing Support
We’ll work with you to prevent future flare-ups by providing exercises to strengthen the jaw and surrounding muscles, as well as techniques to help manage stress. We’ll also offer guidance on avoiding habits that contribute to TMJ pain, such as clenching or excessive jaw movement.
