Jaw Pain

Jaw pain is one of the most common signs of TMJ dysfunction, and it can show up in many ways: a dull ache along the jawline, sharp pain when you bite down, or tenderness that radiates toward the ears and temples. Because the jaw muscles are among the hardest-working muscles in the body, tension builds quickly and can linger for days.

Common contributors include clenching, grinding, stress, poor posture, and overworked chewing muscles. The good news is that targeted massage and SomaFace techniques can release the muscles surrounding the temporomandibular joint, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system so the jaw can finally rest. If your jaw pain is persistent, our TMJ-focused approach in Parkville is designed to help you find lasting relief.
