How Acupuncture Relieves TMJ Pain
Acupuncture works by relaxing overactive jaw muscles, improving joint movement, and calming the nervous system. Here’s what your treatment includes.
Consultation & Jaw Assessment
Your session begins with an evaluation of jaw movement, tenderness, and tension of the face, neck, and shoulders. This helps us understand what's causing your TMJ symptoms and design a treatment plan.
Targeted Acupuncture Treatment
Hair-thin needles are placed at key points that relax tight jaw muscles, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and ease pain. Many clients feel immediate relief as tension melts away from the jaw and neck.
Relief & Ongoing Support
As your jaw relaxes and inflammation decreases, clicking, tightness, and pain begin to fade. We provide ongoing treatment guidance, jaw relaxation exercises, and lifestyle tips to maintain long-term comfort and joint mobility.
