TMJ Dysfunction Treatment in Edmonton

Jaw Pain, Clicking, or Headaches? We Can Help.

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (often called TMJ or TMD ) refers to problems affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. This joint connects your jaw to your skull, and when it’s not functioning properly, it can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty in speaking or chewing.

At Trust Care Physiotherapy, we provide targeted treatment plans to help you manage TMJ dysfunction, reduce pain, and restore normal jaw movement, without relying solely on medications or invasive interventions.

Common Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction

If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may benefit from TMJ physiotherapy:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness. Neck and shoulder tension related to jaw issues
  • Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
  • Difficulty chewing or talking
  • Earaches or a feeling of pressure in the ears
  • Limited jaw movement or locking

What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ dysfunction can be triggered by various factors, including:

  • Poor posture and muscle imbalance
  • Jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism)
