We offer innovative and effective treatments for your nerve, muscle, or skeletal problem.
TMJ, Headaches, Face Pain
Jaw pain, facial pain, headaches, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth can all be signs of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, also known as TMD. These symptoms can interfere with eating, speaking, sleeping, and everyday activities, often affecting your overall quality of life.
At Michigan In Motion Physical Therapy, we provide specialized TMJ physical therapy to identify and treat the underlying causes of jaw and facial pain. Jill has advanced certification in the evaluation and treatment of head, neck, jaw, and facial pain, allowing her to develop personalized treatment plans that address both the symptoms and the source of your discomfort.
Your comprehensive evaluation may include an assessment of your jaw movement, neck mobility, posture, muscle tension, bite mechanics, and movement patterns. Treatment may include gentle manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, posture correction, soft tissue techniques, relaxation strategies, and education to improve jaw function, reduce pain, and help prevent recurring symptoms.
Many people with TMJ dysfunction also experience migraines, tension headaches, sensitivity to light or sound, or symptoms that make busy environments uncomfortable. To help you feel at ease during your care, we offer private treatment rooms for patients who benefit from a quieter, low-stimulation setting.
Whether your symptoms are new or have persisted for years, our goal is to help you eat, speak, yawn, and smile comfortably again while improving your overall quality of life.
