Understanding TMJ Disorder
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), commonly known as TMJ disorder, includes a range of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking, popping, locking, stiffness, and difficulty with chewing or speaking. These issues are often linked to muscle tightness, joint irritation, disc displacement, postural imbalances, or altered movement patterns. At Reliefic Physiotherapy, we begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify the root causes of your symptoms. Treatment involves a hands-on, evidence-based approach using manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, and guided exercises to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, restore disc alignment, and optimize jaw function for long-term relief.
