Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can cause much more than jaw pain. Patients seeking TMJ treatment in San Rafael often report a combination of symptoms including:
These symptoms occur because the jaw joints are closely connected to the muscles, nerves, and structural mechanics of the head and neck.
Sacro Occipital chiropractic also recognizes the strong relationship between the two jaw joints and the sacroiliac joints at the base of the spine. Imbalances or instability in any of these joints affects the other joints. Because the jaw, neck and pelvis function together biomechanically, jaw dysfunction can contribute to persistent neck stiffness, postural issues and even lower back pain.
Effective TMJ treatment in San Rafael requires more than focusing on the jaw. Postural strain or instability from below must be corrected through chiropractic adjusting. Gentle cranial techniques release restrictions in the skull and surrounding soft tissues, allowing the jaw to move more naturally removing stress from the system.
By addressing both jaw mechanics, the broader cranial system and the overall postural system, cranial therapy and SOT chiropractic adjusting can reduce muscular tension, improve joint function, and help relieve the associated symptoms that commonly accompany TMJ disorders.
