What are My treatment options for TMJ Disorder at My Physio?
- Manual therapy: We found manual therapy far more effective in treating TMJ issues. It focuses on restoring and improving your musculoskeletal system with hands-on treatment. The treatment methods within manual therapy include joint mobilisations, oscillations, gentle adjustments, neural glides, and soft tissue techniques.
- Exercise Therapy Several types of exercises are very effective, including specific jaw strengthening exercises, jaw stretching exercises, postural exercises, and general fitness exercises.
- Acupuncture: Penetrating a small needle through the skin and underlying tissue to affect changes in physiology. Using this modality we can treat musculoskeletal disorders, pain and movement dysfunctions involving the TMJ.
