TMJ dysfunction involves discomfort or altered movement of the jaw joint, which can affect chewing, speaking, and overall head and neck comfort. Symptoms may include jaw pain, clicking or popping, facial tension, or associated neck and shoulder discomfort.

Chiropractic care for TMJ dysfunction considers the relationship between jaw mechanics, neck posture, and surrounding muscles. Treatment focuses on improving joint mobility, reducing muscular tension, and addressing postural contributors that may influence jaw function.
