TMJ and Neck Pain: How Chiropractic Care Can Help
Chiropractic Solutions for Jaw Pain, Headaches, and Neck Tension in Fairfax, VA
Do you struggle with jaw clicking, headaches, or tightness around your neck and shoulders? These symptoms may be caused by TMJ dysfunction (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder), which can severely affect daily life—from chewing to sleeping. At Ultimate Spine Health & Chiropractic in Fairfax, Dr. Park provides a precise and gentle chiropractic approach to relieve TMJ symptoms by restoring balance to your jaw and spine.
🔍 What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ refers to the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. When it becomes misaligned or overused, it can result in a range of painful symptoms:
Common TMJ-related symptoms:
Jaw clicking or popping
Headaches or migraines
Earaches or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
Neck and upper back tension
Difficulty chewing or jaw locking
Pain when talking or yawning
🧠 How TMJ and Neck Pain Are Connected
Many people with TMJ also experience neck pain or poor posture. That’s because the muscles and nerves that control jaw movement are closely connected to the upper cervical spine (C1–C3). When the spine is out of alignment, it can contribute to:
Muscle imbalances around the jaw
Referred pain into the head, face, or ear
Increased pressure on the temporomandibular joint
Tension headaches or dizziness
💆 How Chiropractic Care Can Help TMJ Dysfunction
Chiropractic care doesn’t just treat the symptoms—it focuses on correcting the underlying spinal and jaw misalignments that cause TMJ. Dr. Park uses the Gonstead chiropractic system to assess the cervical spine, jaw mechanics, and muscle tension to provide precise, non-invasive care.
