TMJ in WALL TOWNSHIP NJ

Often, the patient we encounter who have been suffering with TMJ disorder have a "perfect storm" of underlying issues. They will typically have curvature loss, or even degeneration, in their neck, which leads to extreme tension on not only the muscles of the neck, throat, jaw, and face, but also contributes to a "fight or flight" response in the nervous system, making that tension worse. They will also have restrictions and compressions in the cranial bones that misalign and retract the jaw, leading to further muscle and nervous system tension.

This is exactly why we get results.

By not ONLY focusing on the spine OR cranium - by addressing both simultaneously, we can help break the pattern of dysfunction and help you break free from the chains of TMJ.

Spinal Alignment: Chiropractors specialize in identifying and correcting subluxations and misalignments in the spine. A subluxated spine can lead to imbalances throughout the body, affecting the jaw and exacerbating TMJ symptoms. Through gentle adjustments, chiropractors can restore proper alignment, alleviating pressure on the jaw and promoting overall wellness.

Craniopathy and TMJ Disorder

Cranial Balancing: Craniopathy focuses on the relationship between the cranial bones and the nervous system. Imbalances in the cranial bones can contribute to TMJ symptoms. In fact - the "T" and "TMJ" represents one of the most important cranial bones, the Temporal bone! Through gentle adjustments, a craniopath can restore balance, improving the function of the temporomandibular joint.

Nervous System Harmony: The cranial bones house and protect the brain and spinal cord. Craniopathy aims to ensure optimal communication within the nervous system. By enhancing this communication, craniopathy supports the body's ability to manage and alleviate TMJ symptoms.
