Common Questions About TMJ Physiotherapy
What is TMJ Physiotherapy and How Can It Help Me?
TMJ physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on the treatment of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull. This therapy can help alleviate pain, reduce stiffness, and improve the function of your jaw. It includes techniques like manual therapy, targeted exercises, and patient education to manage symptoms and promote long-term jaw health.
What Are the Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders?
Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include jaw pain or tenderness, difficulty in opening or closing the mouth, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, and headaches. Some patients may also experience ear pain, ringing in the ears, or neck stiffness. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, TMJ physiotherapy can be a beneficial treatment option.
How Long Does TMJ Physiotherapy Treatment Take to Show Results?
The duration of TMJ physiotherapy treatment varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to therapy.
