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.
