Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Jaw pain can be frustrating and debilitating, affecting your ability to chew, speak, and even sleep comfortably. At Osteopathic Movement in South Yarra, our osteopaths provide safe and effective treatment for TMJ disorders (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) and related jaw pain. By addressing both the joint and surrounding muscles, we help reduce pain, restore movement, and prevent recurring flare-ups.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction
Jaw clicking, popping, or locking
Pain when chewing or opening the mouth
Headaches, earaches, or facial pain
Tightness in the jaw, neck, or shoulders
Difficulty fully opening or closing the mouth
How Osteopathy Can Help
Our osteopaths use a combination of gentle, hands-on techniques and tailored advice to treat TMJ dysfunction:
Soft tissue release of tight jaw, neck, and facial muscles
Joint mobilisation to improve jaw alignment and movement
Postural and ergonomic advice to reduce strain on the jaw
Exercise rehabilitation for long-term stability
Stress and tension management strategies, where appropriate
By treating both the jaw and contributing factors (like posture or neck tension), we aim to restore balance and reduce the risk of symptoms returning.
