What can PT do for Jaw Pain?

Jaw pain is commonly linked to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Grinding of teeth, clenching the jaw, stress, arthritis, malalignment, muscle tension, and poor posture can all result in debilitating jaw pain. Physical therapy can be helpful for managing the symptoms by addressing the musculoskeletal dysfunction, improving posture, and providing the tools to manage the triggers associated with your pain.
