Let’s Talk Jaw Pain, Clicking, Popping, and Grinding: TMJ Relief with Chiropractic Care
Jaw pain is more common than most people think. Clicking, popping, grinding, or tension in your jaw may seem like something you just have to live with — but these symptoms are not normal. In fact, they’re often signs of an underlying issue involving the jaw, spine, muscles, and nervous system.
At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we’ve developed a specialized Jaw Pain Protocol that is providing patients in the Rochester, NY region with fast and lasting relief.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. This joint is responsible for movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMJ dysfunction occurs when the joint becomes misaligned, inflamed, or restricted, often due to poor posture, clenching, grinding (bruxism), injury, or muscular imbalances in the head, neck, and shoulders.
Common TMJ Symptoms Include:
-
Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
-
Jaw pain or tenderness
-
Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Ear pain or pressure
-
Neck and shoulder tension
-
Facial pain or fatigue
-
Teeth grinding at night
Our Proven Jaw Pain Protocol
Our jaw pain approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of dysfunction — not just masking the symptoms. We combine a variety of techniques based on your specific needs, including:
-
Chiropractic adjustments to the jaw, neck, and spine to restore alignment and mobility
-
Myofascial release and soft tissue therapy for facial, jaw, neck, and shoulder muscles
-
IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) to relieve deep muscular tension and scar tissue
-
Posture correction and ergonomic recommendations
-
At-home exercises and stretches to support long-term relief
Many of our patients report noticeable improvement after just one session. Ongoing care is designed to retrain the jaw and surrounding structures for better function and less pain over time.
Trusted by Local Dentists and Hygienists
We frequently receive referrals from local dental professionals because they’ve seen firsthand how effective our approach is. Our team collaborates with dentists and orthodontists when needed to ensure comprehensive care for TMJ dysfunction.
Chiropractic and the Jaw-Spine Connection
The temporomandibular joint does not work in isolation. It’s deeply influenced by the alignment and function of the cervical spine (neck), shoulders, and muscles of the head and jaw. Misalignments in the spine (subluxations) can interfere with the nervous system, muscle tone, and joint mechanics — contributing to jaw dysfunction and pain.
Chiropractic adjustments restore motion and alignment to the spine and jaw, reducing inflammation, relieving pressure on nerves, and allowing your body to heal more effectively.
Don’t Let Jaw Pain Control Your Life
Jaw pain can affect your ability to chew, talk, concentrate, sleep, and enjoy daily activities. Don’t ignore it — especially when there’s a non-invasive, drug-free option to find relief and healing.
