TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Massage

TMJ Massage for Relief from Jaw Pain, Headaches & TMD

 

Do you suffer from any of the following?

 

  • Unresolved Toothache  
  • Face Pain  
  • Visual Disturbances  
  • Jaw Pain  
  • Headaches  
  • Migraines  
  • Ear Pain/ache (without infection)  
  • Clicking, Popping, or Grating Sounds in Your Jaw  
  • Ringing of the Ears (Tinnitus)  
  • Dizzy Spells  
  • Difficulty Swallowing  
  • Difficulty Speaking  
  • Chronic Pain or Tenderness Around the Ear, Neck, Face, Upper Back, and Shoulders  
  • Worn Teeth  
  • Twitching of the Face or Eye Muscles  
  • Difficulty Sleeping  
  • Sensitivity to Light and Noise  
  • Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)  
  • Trismus (Difficulty Opening Mouth Normally)  
  • Jaws that Get “Stuck” or “Locked” in the Open or Closed Position  
  • Trouble Chewing or Sudden Uncomfortable Bite  

 

These symptoms are among the many issues related to what is known as TMJ Disorder. There are several ways to treat and relieve the pain you are feeling – massage has proven to be the most non-intrusive and effective for long-term results.

 

 

How Can Massage Help?

Massage can heal and release soft tissues (muscles), relieving pain and reducing the symptoms caused by problems around the jaw joint. This is achieved by treating trigger points around the jaw, neck, and shoulders.

 

What is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint connecting your mandible (jawbone) to the temporal bone of your skull, located in front of your ear. This joint and its associated muscles allow us to move our jaw up and down and side to side to talk, eat, yawn, laugh, and more.

Problems with this joint and its muscles are known as TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder), which can cause:

  • Severe pain in the jaw or face  
  • Restricted jaw movements  
  • Noises such as clicking or popping during jaw movement  

 

 

 

Massage can address the root cause of TMJ disorders. Whether the pain stems from a jaw injury or fatigue from repeatedly grinding or clenching your teeth, regular massage therapy can make a significant difference.

 

What Happens During a TMJ Massage?

After assessing your TMJ, I will work on the muscles in your neck, chest, head, upper shoulders, and the muscles around your jaw (the muscles of mastication). This includes some intraoral work using a gloved finger.

The TMJ massage protocol I follow has been developed by dental nurses and has been practiced successfully for over a decade. Additionally, I offer acupuncture and teach self-care practices to support your healing and recovery.

Did you know that everything in your body is connected? The neck and jaw have a particularly close relationship, meaning tension in your neck and shoulders often refers tension into your jaw.

 

Treatment Duration & Packages

After your first treatment, you will feel a difference, but due to the chronic nature of TMJ disorders, ongoing treatment is required for at least 6 weeks. This recommendation is based on my clinical experience treating clients with TMJ.

 

I offer the following treatment packages:

  • 6 Sessions  
  • 8 Sessions  
  • 10 Sessions
