Struggling with jaw pain, facial tension, or clicking sounds while eating or speaking? You may be experiencing TMJ dysfunction, a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint, often leading to discomfort in the jaw, face, head, and neck. At Uniphysio, our specialized TMJ physiotherapy treatments offer safe, non-invasive relief tailored to your condition.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction refers to problems with the jaw joint and nearby muscles. Common signs include:
Jaw pain or stiffness
Clicking or popping sounds
Limited jaw movement
Headaches or facial pain
Earaches or neck tension
Causes range from stress, jaw misalignment, and teeth grinding to poor posture and injury.
