Jaw joint physiotherapy.

The jaw joint is one of the most used joints in the body and has a significant impact on almost the entire body! Jaw joint pain is often felt when opening the mouth, chewing, and sometimes even at rest. Pain can occur directly in the joint (just in front of the ear) or radiate to the teeth and head. Clicking sounds and limited mouth opening are also common.
The causes of jaw joint pain vary. It can result from injury or inflammation of the joint. The jaw joint is also influenced by the alignment of the teeth. Chewing muscles respond to psychological stress, and injury can even occur from a visit to your dentist. We specialize in non-surgical solutions for jaw joint problems. If surgical consultation is necessary, we refer to trusted facilities with our recommendation.

There is a strong connection between the jaw joint (TMJ, temporomandibular joint), scoliosis, and overall healthy posture. We explore this topic in detail in the article Does Your Bite and Jaw Joint Affect Body Alignment?
Jaw joint disorders can lead to numerous health problems, primarily headaches and migraines, as well as tinnitus or changes in posture. The jaw joint directly affects the cervical spine. Spinal tension, in turn, alters the quality of movement throughout the body, increases muscle tension, and makes the musculoskeletal system more vulnerable.
Some of our clients spent years suffering from neck and head pain without any effective treatment. We were finally able to help them through exercises combined with jaw joint relaxation*.

The physiotherapist will first use manual techniques and exercises to restore the natural movement of the jaw and muscle function. You will learn to recognize and strengthen proper posture. This improves the resting position of the jaw, head, neck, and shoulders during everyday activities like walking, sports, or sitting at a computer. The physiotherapist will also teach you techniques and exercises you can use in the future to keep your jaw joint functioning properly and to relieve pain on your own.

We identify the cause and offer solutions for jaw pain, clicking, limited movement, or asymmetry*. During rehabilitation, we always address the question of why the problem occurred. The reward can be long-term relief or the permanent elimination of symptoms.

Thanks to our collaboration with Svět Rovnátek, the largest orthodontic clinic in the world offering modern invisible braces treatment, working with the jaw joint is part of our daily routine. In addition to orthodontics, we also treat clients from joint clinics and jaw surgery centers across the Czech Republic.

Our physiotherapists address jaw joint issues as frequently as a physiotherapist in a general clinic treats back pain. The experience we gain is invaluable! Knowledge alone is not enough; experience truly makes a difference.
