TMJ Dysfunction (TMD)

Physiotherapy for TMJ Dysfunction (TMD)

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) affects the joint connecting the jawbone to the skull, making it painful or difficult to chew, speak, and open or close the mouth. Commonly caused by posture-related issues, muscle imbalances, or arthritis, TMD can lead to significant discomfort.

How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy for TMD involves manual therapy techniques and specific exercises to improve joint alignment, reduce pain, and restore proper jaw function. We also focus on improving posture and muscle balance to help prevent recurrence.
