TMJ Treatment in Saratoga Springs

Natural Relief for Jaw Pain, Clicking, and Tension Headaches

If you're experiencing jaw pain, clicking or popping when you open your mouth, or frequent tension headaches, you may be suffering from TMJ dysfunction. At Turning Point Chiropractic, we provide effective, non-invasive TMJ treatment in Saratoga Springs to help restore proper jaw function and relieve pain. Using a combination of soft tissue therapy, gentle adjustments, and targeted rehab, we address the root cause of TMJ issues so you can chew, speak, and live more comfortably.

What Is TMJ Dysfunction (TMJD)?

TMJ dysfunction occurs when the joint connecting your jaw to your skull—located just in front of the ear—no longer moves properly. This complex joint contains a small disc of cartilage that allows smooth motion between the bones. When surrounding muscles become overly tight or imbalanced, they can pull the disc out of position, resulting in:

  • Popping or clicking when opening the mouth

  • Pain while chewing or talking

  • Limited jaw movement or locking

  • Tension headaches or earaches

  • Facial muscle soreness

What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJD is often caused by a combination of factors:

  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), often during sleep

  • Poor posture, especially forward head position

  • Excessive gum chewing or talking

  • Stress-related muscle tension

  • Jaw injuries from sports or accidents

  • Dental procedures that stress the jaw

  • Structural imbalances in the neck and jaw

Even minor trauma—like a car accident or fall—can trigger long-term TMJ problems if left untreated.
