Waking up with a throbbing headache and a stiff, clicking jaw? You don't have to just live with it. Legacy Spine Care can help.
We provide noninvasive TMJ disorder treatment in The Woodlands that focuses on easing pain, improving jaw function, and helping you get back to living a happy, active life.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder develops when the joints connecting the lower jaw to the skull fail to function properly. It is often caused by teeth grinding, poor posture, stress, jaw misalignment, whiplash, or arthritis, which can lead to headaches and jaw dysfunction.
Early evaluation and care help prevent chronic conditions.
TMJ symptoms may vary depending on the underlying cause and the affected part of the jaw. At Legacy Spine Care, our noninvasive TMJ treatment focuses on addressing symptoms such as:
Misalignments in the upper cervical spine create tension in surrounding muscles and joints, which contribute to jaw stiffness and pain. Our chiropractic care for TMJ disorder focuses on precise adjustments to ease tension, leading to pain relief and improved function.
Chronic stress can cause unconscious teeth grinding, which can make the jaw muscles tense and inflamed. Myofascial therapy targets the soft tissues of the jaw, shoulders, and neck with manual techniques to reduce stress, tension, and inflammation.
Restricted jaw movement is a common issue for TMJ disorder. Through targeted strengthening and flexibility exercises, physical rehabilitation helps reduce muscle tightness and support better jaw movement.
For persistent TMJ disorder, we provide pain management injections in The Woodlands for immediate jaw pain relief. These injections target the joints and surrounding tissues with corticosteroids and local anesthetics to quickly reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort.
Poor posture in children and pregnant women can cause muscle tension from the spine to the neck, leading to jaw misalignment. Our jaw alignment therapy focuses on gentle adjustments and postural correction to help restore jaw function and support lasting comfort.
At Legacy Spine Care, we take a proactive approach to TMJ therapy. Here’s what you can expect.
We start by discussing your symptoms, reviewing medical records, and assessing past treatments you’ve tried to manage your condition.
We'll perform a physical examination to assess your jaw alignment and check for muscle tension. An imaging test may be requested if necessary.
Once we reach a diagnosis, we tailor a treatment plan to address your symptoms and achieve your overall health goals.
We track your progress and adjust treatments to support lasting relief and prevent future flare-ups.
