TMJ & Jaw Discomfort in Stephenville, TX
Learn how we may help address concerns related to tmj & jaw discomfort.
About This Concern
A hands-on evaluation helps identify muscle tension and joint restriction that may contribute to TMJ and jaw discomfort.
Patterns We Often See
- Jaw tightness or a clicking sensation when chewing or speaking
- Discomfort near the jaw joint that extends toward the ear or temple
- Muscle tension linked to teeth clenching or jaw habits
- Jaw discomfort that occurs alongside neck or head tension
Our Evaluation Approach
TMJ and jaw discomfort are evaluated alongside neck and upper back muscle tension, since these areas are often connected. Care options may include chiropractic care and massage therapy to help address surrounding muscle tightness; patients with dental or structural jaw concerns may also be referred to an appropriate specialist.
Every patient's situation is different. An initial evaluation with Dr. Steven Thomas helps determine which care options are appropriate for your specific concern before any treatment begins.
