Several issues can cause temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms. These issues include experiencing an injury to the joint, improper alignment of the jaw and teeth, overuse due to vigorous chewing, and braces. You can also cause TMJ symptoms if you have a habit of clenching or grinding your teeth, especially when sleeping.
Chiropractic treatment for the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) concentrates on decreasing tension in the muscles around the joints themselves. Adjustments to the joint generally use a technique that causes a tiny stretch inside the joint, which releases any fibrous attachments made by the body caused by previous trauma.
Chiropractic care reduces the pressure on various nerves, which then alleviates pain associated with TMJ. Many people who have TMJ need continual attention to keep the pain and other side effects at bay. With regular appointments to a chiropractor, many sufferers of this condition find ongoing relief.
To learn more about how chiropractic care can help relieve your TMJ pain, call Canyon Chiropractic in San Ramon at (925) 867-1414 to schedule a consultation today.

“A great experience from start to finish. The staff are warm and welcoming and very easy to talk to. You get a thorough, yet understandable explanation for what ails you. Dr. Laux was very helpful in not only explaining my issue, but helping me understand possible causes, but ultimately, how to prevent future incidents. Don't get me started on those hands."

“I was having a lot of pain from a C5-C6 herniated disk and saw their ad on spinal decompression. I'm so glad I gave it a shot!!! My radiating pain down my arm is 90% gone and I am learning how to completely elevate the pain. I have stopped using anti inflammatory meds and feel better than I thought I would at this stage."

“I've been going to Canyon Chiropractic for almost 2 years now. Definitely changed my life. I was having excruciating knee pain and after one visit was able to experience significantly less pain and no need for pain meds. I struggled with this pain for over a year prior and had seen multiple doctors that only offered pills. Staff are competent, friendly and flexible. I absolutely love them and highly recommend them."
