Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction
TMJ pain can be eased if you get it diagnosed early. Here are a few common signs of TMJ dysfunction:

Pain in jaw muscles

Grinding or popping sound during eating

Jaw locking

Treatment
One of the most common causes of TMJ pain is muscle stiffness around the jaw area. Like many ailments related to muscle stiffness, massage therapy can help relieve the pain by relaxing the muscles. Our massage treatment will help decompress the soft tissues around your neck and mouth. This will help your jaw function properly again. We also recommend adopting habits such as avoiding chewing gum and hard-to-chew foods and wearing a mouthguard if prescribed.
