Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ Treatment

What is TMJ and what causes it?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ problems can be caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, stress, poor posture, or injury. Sometimes the exact cause isn't clear, but physiotherapy can still help reduce your symptoms.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

Most people start feeling better within 2-4 weeks of treatment. Complete recovery usually takes 6-12 weeks, depending on how severe your TMJ is and how well you follow your treatment plan. Some people need ongoing care to manage their symptoms.

Is physiotherapy better than other TMJ treatments?

Physiotherapy is often the first treatment doctors recommend because it's safe and effective. It helps fix the root cause of your TMJ, not just cover up the pain. Many people avoid surgery or expensive dental treatments by doing physiotherapy first.

Will TMJ exercises hurt?

TMJ exercises should not cause pain. You might feel some mild stretching or pressure, but it should feel good, not painful. If an exercise hurts, stop and tell your physiotherapist. We'll adjust your program so it's comfortable for you.

Can I prevent TMJ from coming back?

Yes! We teach you exercises and habits that help prevent TMJ problems. This includes good posture, stress management, avoiding hard foods, and doing daily jaw exercises. Most people can prevent their TMJ from coming back by following these tips.
