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.
