TMJ & Headache Physiotherapy
Assessment and treatment for jaw pain, restricted movement and related face, head and neck symptoms.
About this service
Care that starts with your goals.
The temporomandibular joint works closely with the jaw muscles, neck and nervous system. Assessment considers jaw opening, movement pattern, muscle sensitivity, neck function and the activities that aggravate symptoms.
Treatment aims to improve comfortable jaw function and reduce contributing muscle or movement factors. Care can complement dental or medical management when a team approach is appropriate.
