Get lasting relief from head, neck, and jaw pain!

The options for TMJ treatment were limited, and I knew I could offer something different - I'm so happy that I do.

I realized that the number of people suffering from TMJ issues was quite astounding. Some of them were given nightguards, some were told to take muscle relaxants or NSAIDs, while others were told they would just have to live with it.

My patients were quite surprised that the jaw was also a part of the body that could reap the benefits of massage therapy. The instant relief they felt following treatment was life-changing for them.

TMJ Treatment

Jaw pain is debilitating and it can impact how you talk and what you eat. It might also be the reason why you avoid going out to restaurants with friends and family.

Are you dealing with frequent headaches? Are your neck and shoulders always tight? Do your ears feel itchy and full? Do your teeth ache?

All of these issues (give or take a few) can be a result of jaw dysfunction.

I provide a comprehensive treatment program for people who have dealt with:

  • their jaw locking open/shut

  • jaw pain, headaches, neck and shoulder pain

  • clicking and popping

  • issues with clenching and grinding (also known as bruxism)

Myofunctional Therapy

Myofunctional therapy utilizes a variety of exercises focusing on the muscles of the face, jaw, tongue, and throat in order to help relieve the symptoms of orofacial myofunctional disorders (OMD) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

The benefits of myofunctional therapy are vast in ways that reduce the symptoms and improve your confidence and overall health — impacting even the way your face looks! It is an especially effective method of relief for sleep disordered breathing or whiplash injuries. 

Myofunctional Therapy exercises, personally-tailored to your specific needs, help strengthen and improve issues related to:

  • open mouth posture

  • breathing

  • snoring

  • chewing and swallowing

  • headaches

  • and much more
