Do you wake up with jaw soreness or grind your teeth at night?
Many patients try:
✔️ Mouthguards
✔️ Massage
✔️ Stress management
✔️ Dental treatment
But jaw clenching often returns.
The trigeminal nerve — which controls jaw sensation and muscle tone — connects at the brainstem. And the brainstem sits directly next to the top two bones in your neck. If upper cervical misalignment creates irritation in this region, muscle tone can increase - including in the jaw.
✨ Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care focuses on correcting this area gently and precisely. If you're waking up with jaw soreness, tap the link to see how we can help! https://www.lakenormanspinalcare.com/
