TMJ, Jaw Pain, and Headaches? Relief Starts Here.

Gentle muscle retraining, real results.

Tension in the jaw or face isn’t just frustrating — it can disrupt eating, sleeping, and even your focus. Many people struggle with TMJ disorders, clenching, or unexplained headaches for years before discovering the root cause: oral muscle dysfunction.

What’s Really Happening:
Poor tongue posture, mouth breathing, or compensations during chewing can overload the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain, popping/clicking, or radiating headaches. But here’s the good news — myofunctional therapy is designed to correct those patterns at the source.

How We Help:
Carol guides each patient through a customized muscle retraining plan to:

✅ Reduce jaw tension and clenching
✅ Encourage nasal breathing for better oxygenation
✅ Improve chewing function and bite awareness
✅ Release pressure from the TMJ through proper rest posture
✅ Break habits like tongue thrust and night grinding

Ideal for Patients Who:

  • Clench or grind their teeth

  • Have a history of TMJ dysfunction or clicking

  • Wake up with headaches or facial tightness

  • Feel tension along the jaw, temples, or neck

  • Use a nightguard but still experience pain

Carol’s Insight:
“Many of my clients have tried everything for their TMJ pain — pain meds, bite guards, even Botox. When we retrain the muscles causing the tension, the relief lasts.”
