TMJ & Jaw Pain Relief in Charleston, SC
Your jaw joint, the TMJ, doesn't work in isolation. It's closely connected to your upper neck, cervical spine, and cranium, and posture plays a role too, which means tension or misalignment in any of those areas can show up as clenching, clicking, or pain in your jaw, and vice versa.
A lot of jaw pain builds up quietly through stress, clenching at night, or posture habits like looking down at a phone for hours. At Cypress Chiropractic & Wellness, we look at the whole picture, your jaw, your neck, and your nervous system.
Signs You Might Be Dealing With TMJ Dysfunction
Clicking or popping when you open your mouth
Jaw tightness or soreness, especially in the morning
Headaches that start near the temples or jaw
How We Approach It
We look for restrictions and subluxations in the cervical spine, thoracic spine, and cranium that may be contributing to jaw tension and dysfunction, alongside a hands-on assessment of the jaw itself. Sometimes jaw adjustments are necessary in that case will be provided.
