Did you know that various mechanical problems of the temporomandibular joint (jaw) can be treated in physiotherapy?
These problems can be manifested as follows:
- Pain in the jaw, face, temples
- Headache
- Cracking, audible sounds from the jaw
- Jamming of the jaw
- Difficulty in opening your mouth completely
- Sensations of muscular tension in the neck, jaw, temples
- Etc.
These problems can sometimes occur after a orthodontic treatment, maxillofacial surgery or following a visit to the dentist.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) treatments in physiotherapy consist of:
- the use of specific manual techniques
- home exercise training
- occasionally, electrotherapy
At Clinique de réadaptation physique Roussillon, some members of the physiotherapy team are trained to perform jaw treatments.
