TMJ Treatment in Sarasota
Gentle, Effective Relief for Jaw Pain and Dysfunction
If you're dealing with jaw pain, clicking when you chew, or chronic headaches, you may be experiencing Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunction—a common but often misunderstood condition that affects the jaw and surrounding areas. At Movement Chiropractic Sarasota, we offer neurologically based chiropractic care that targets the root cause of TMJ disorders—so you can experience lasting relief naturally.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull, allowing movements like speaking, eating, and yawning. When this complex system of muscles, ligaments, and bones becomes misaligned or irritated, it can trigger a range of symptoms that affect your daily life.
Common TMJ symptoms include:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking, popping, or grinding noises
Headaches or migraines
Neck and shoulder tension
Earaches or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Facial swelling
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
Dizziness or jaw locking
Many people live with TMJ for years without realizing the true cause of their discomfort—this is where our corrective approach makes the difference.
How Dr. Bill Addresses TMJ in Sarasota
Instead of masking symptoms with medication or bite guards, we use a corrective chiropractic approach to address the source of the problem. Misalignments in the jaw, cervical spine, and upper back can create muscle tension and nerve interference—worsening TMJ symptoms.
Our neurologically based method helps restore proper alignment and relieve strain on the joint and surrounding structures.
Our TMJ care process includes:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation
Full spinal and postural analysis—not just your jaw
Digital X-rays when needed
Neurological testing to detect underlying imbalances
2. Targeted Adjustments
Precise Mirror Image® adjustments to restore balance to your cervical spine, jaw, and related areas
3. SoftWave Therapy
Non-invasive treatment to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and speed tissue healing
4. Muscle Release & Posture Support
Gentle soft tissue therapy and specific exercises to improve jaw stability and long-term posture
