TMJ/TMD Therapy

Relieve Jaw Pain and Regain Comfort with Expert TMJ Therapy at CORE Center

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, also known as TMD, can lead to persistent jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, and difficulty eating or speaking. At Daviess Community Hospital’s CORE Center, we offer personalized, evidence-based TMJ/TMD therapy to relieve your symptoms, improve jaw function, and restore your quality of life.

Whether your pain is new or you’ve been living with discomfort for months—or even years—our experienced therapy team is here to help you find lasting relief.

What Is TMJ/TMD?

The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and acts like a sliding hinge. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned due to injury, muscle tension, stress, or dental issues, it can lead to a group of symptoms known as TMJ disorders or TMD.

Common symptoms include:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
• Headaches or facial pain
• Earaches or ringing in the ears
• Pain while chewing or yawning
• Limited jaw movement
• Neck and shoulder tension

How TMJ/TMD Therapy at CORE Can Help

At the CORE Center, our physical and occupational therapists use specialized, hands-on techniques and targeted exercises to:

• Reduce muscle tension in the jaw, face, and neck
• Improve joint alignment and mobility
• Decrease inflammation and pain
• Restore full range of motion
• Promote relaxation and reduce stress-related jaw clenching
• Prevent recurring flare-ups through posture and movement training

Your treatment plan will be tailored to your unique condition and may include manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, postural training, soft tissue work, and home exercise programs to support your healing between sessions.
