Temporomandibular joint

Suffering from jaw pain, a clicking jaw or regular headaches with no clear cause? Your jaw joint and chewing muscles may play a bigger role than you think. With specialised physiotherapy, we help you reduce pain, release tension and move your jaw comfortably again.

What are jaw problems or TMD?

Temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) is an umbrella term for problems affecting the jaw joint and the surrounding chewing muscles.

Jaw problems can arise from various factors, such as teeth grinding, unconscious clenching, overuse or impaired coordination of the chewing muscles. Stress can also play an important role.

Moreover, the symptoms are not always limited to the jaw itself. Recurring headaches, pain around the ear or neck problems may also be related.

Which problems can we treat?

Do you recognise one or more of these symptoms?

• Pain or fatigue when chewing, talking or yawning
• A clicking, popping or cracking jaw joint
• Difficulty opening your mouth fully
• Tense or painful chewing muscles
• Recurring headaches, earache or neck pain
• Jaw tension caused by teeth grinding or clenching

How can we help you?

Even if you have been living with jaw problems for a long time, targeted physiotherapy can make an important difference.

At Health Hub, we examine not only your jaw joint, but also the functioning of your chewing muscles, your neck and possible factors that maintain your symptoms.

Depending on your symptoms, we combine manual therapy, muscle relaxation techniques, possibly dry needling and specific exercises to improve the mobility and function of your jaw.

We also help you recognise and address habits such as unconscious clenching. This way, we work not only towards pain relief, but also towards lasting results.

Eat, talk and yawn without pain again?

Jaw problems do not have to keep affecting your daily life. With a personal and targeted approach, our physiotherapists help you move comfortably and in a relaxed way again.
