How Upper Cervical Care Helps Relieve TMJ Pain

1. Identifying the Root Cause of Jaw Dysfunction

We begin with a comprehensive consultation and advanced imaging to determine if a misalignment in the upper cervical spine is interfering with the trigeminal nerve and jaw movement.

2. Gentle, Precise Corrections

Unlike general chiropractic adjustments, upper cervical corrections are precise and gentle, ensuring your spine is properly aligned without forceful manipulations.

3. Restoring Nerve Communication and Jaw Function

Bringing the upper cervical spine back into alignment, we help relieve jaw tension, muscle tightness, and nerve irritation, allowing for smoother, pain-free movement.

Upper cervical care helps relieve jaw tightness, reduce headaches, and ease pressure in the face and ears by restoring proper nerve function.

3. Long-Term Relief & Improved Jaw Mobility

Instead of just masking symptoms, upper cervical care helps correct the root cause of TMJ dysfunction, allowing for better jaw movement and long-term comfort.
