We use a variety of manual therapy techniques to improve the quality of jaw movement and eliminate pain. A thorough evaluation of the cervical spine and surrounding musculature is vital to the correct approach to jaw dysfunction.  These may include trigger point release, myofascial release, deep and soft tissue massage, joint mobilizations, manual stretching, and functional dry needling.  After pain is decreased and function restored, patients are instructed in specific home management programs to restore muscle balance and normal function.
