Jaw discomfort is something many people experience, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored.
The jaw joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and helps with everyday actions like talking, chewing, and yawning. When it’s not working properly, it can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, muscle tightness, or difficulty opening your mouth.
Physiotherapy can help address these issues through assessment, hands-on treatment, muscle relaxation techniques, and guidance on habits that may be putting stress on the jaw.
If your symptoms keep returning or last more than a couple of weeks, it might be time to get it checked.
If you’re in Aberdeen, consider booking a TMJ assessment.
