Ease Jaw Tension. Smile Freely.

The muscles in your jaw work hard for you. The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is in constant motion, whether you are eating, speaking, yawning or smiling. However, when this joint becomes misaligned or irritated, it causes pain, stiffness and even headaches.

At Kinetic Care Physiotherapy & Acupuncture Clinic in Reading, our expert physiotherapist guides you through specialised techniques for treating jaw dysfunction (TMD). We help you chew and speak comfortably without constant tension.

Understanding Common Causes Of Jaw Dysfunction

Jaw dysfunction can result from a variety of factors, including:

  • Grinding or clenching of teeth (Bruxism). 
  • Muscle tension and stress. 
  • Neck misalignment or poor posture. 
  • Arthritis in the TMJ. 
  • Trauma or injury to the face or jaw. 
  • Bite or dental misalignment.
