Personalized Treatment for Your TMJ / TMD

Your physiotherapist will assess the movement and alignment of your neck and jaw looking for tightness and imbalances in the muscles and restrictions in the joints. An individualized treatment plan will then be developed with you. When necessary, your physio will contact your dentist and / or specialist to coordinate your treatment with their recommendations if needed.

What exactly is TMJ / TMD?

The jaw joints, also known as the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), are one of the most complex joints in our body. The joint connects the lower jaw to the skull in front of the ear and is involved in many functions including eating, speaking, facial expressions and more importantly breathing.

You have two temporo-mandibular joints, one on each side of your jaw, comprised of muscles, blood vessels, nerves and bones. Unfortunately this joint is a common area for reoccurring jaw pain.

TMD stands for temporomandibular dysfunction and is the more current term used to describe dysfunction with the temporomandibular joints.

First time here working with Ian. I appreciated the thorough assessment and noting of history. He repeatedly told me that the goal was not to create pain, “loading without overloading” and the separation of exercises into strengthening and stretching…very reassuring and motivating to work on the exercises he outlined and communicated to me in writing. I am looking forward to my having decreased pain and sensitivity.read more
