Jaw Exercises For TMJ

If you have TMJ symptoms, there’s a good chance you’ve been suffering for a long time. You may have severe pain in your jaw or face every day. Or, perhaps your jaw sticks open in the mornings, or you have trouble eating certain foods. Maybe you have headaches that can’t be explained; or a persistent toothache that so far is undiagnosable.

You are not alone. At New York TMJ & Orofacial Pain, we see people like you in our offices every day. And we have a wide range of treatment methods at our disposal to help you get better. For many of our patients, jaw exercises for TMJ are very effective for pain reduction and healing.

Why Do Jaw Exercises For TMJ Work?

When your jaw muscles are tense or in spasm, it’s often the result of teeth clenching or grinding. Jaw exercises that stretch the muscles will encourage your muscles to loosen up.

Stretching exercises for TMJ also can help to repair your jaw joints by increasing their range of motion allowing them to heal.

If your painful jaw muscles are making your life difficult, we can help. At New York TMJ & Orofacial Pain, our staff is led by board-certified Orofacial Pain specialists who have been focused on jaw problems for over three decades. We have three convenient offices in the New York City metro area: Manhattan, Westchester County, and Long Island.
