Chiropractic TMJ Treatment in Ames
The temporomandibular (jaw) joint is one of the most densely innervated areas in the body. TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) impacts a large number of individuals and can come with a variety of symptoms. Common TMJ symptoms include:
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Aching pain in and around your ear
- Jaw pain
- Issues with jaw movement
- Locked jaw
- Jaw popping
- Difficulty with chewing
When simple daily movements like chewing, talking, and drinking cause pain, a chiropractic doctor can help provide relief. Chiropractic care can help treat TMJ without the need for surgery or other medical intervention. Seeing a chiropractor can help not only relieve the symptoms of TMJ but also treat TMJ disorder itself.
Ames Chiropractic Treatments For TMJ
When treating TMJ, doctors will often prescribe pain relievers and/or muscle relaxants to treat symptoms while the patient waits for TMJ to go away on its own. A chiropractic doctor can help provide similar pain relief while also treating the root cause of TMJ. TMJ causes can range widely and can include:
- An injury
- Chronic teeth grinding and/or clenching
- Arthritis
- & More
Chiropractic TMJ treatment targets the joint, surrounding muscles, and the top two vertebrae of the neck to help loosen tight muscles and bring everything back into alignment. Using a specific analysis and an extremely gentle TMJ treatment method that includes localized massage, TMJ exercises, and an adjustment, our Ames chiropractors can help treat TMJ and provide lasting relief.
