TMJ Treatment for Phoenix Patients

When to Seek TMJ Care
Consider an evaluation if you experience:
- Aching in the jaw, cheeks, or temples
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds
- A jaw that locks or will not open fully
- Morning headaches or sore teeth from clenching
- Ear pain or fullness without an ear infection
- Neck and shoulder tightness
Treating the Jaw, Neck, and Nerves Together
The jaw does not work alone. Head and neck posture, muscle tension, and nerve irritation all affect how the temporomandibular joint moves. Long workdays at a computer, driving, and stress can push the head forward and increase strain on the jaw. Dr. Marc Bonacci uses RegenAlign: The Bonacci Method of Regenerative Alignment™ to align the muscles, connective tissue, nerves, and joints of the jaw and neck, while our manual therapists provide targeted TMJ therapy. Most patients need 4 to 12 sessions for enduring stability.
Building Long-Term Relief
To keep symptoms from returning, we provide simple jaw exercises, posture training, and stress-reduction strategies. Many Phoenix patients also benefit from therapeutic massage, physical therapy, and headache treatment. If your TMJ pain began after a car accident, learn about our auto injury care. We coordinate with your dentist when appropriate.
Phoenix TMJ FAQs
Do you treat TMJ patients from Phoenix?
Yes. Our office at 14555 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 120 is a short drive from Phoenix via Thunderbird Rd or the Loop 101.
Can TMJ cause ear pain?
Yes. Because the jaw joint sits next to the ear, TMJ dysfunction can cause ear pain or a feeling of fullness.
Can a car accident cause TMJ problems?
Yes. Whiplash can strain the jaw and neck and lead to TMJ symptoms.
How is TMJ treated at your office?
We use gentle RegenAlign™ alignment, targeted TMJ therapy, and home exercises to relieve jaw, neck, and nerve tension.
How many visits will I need?
Most patients need 4 to 12 sessions for lasting stability.
Do I need a referral from my dentist?
No. You can schedule directly, and we will coordinate with your dentist if needed.
