TMJ Services and Treatment at Strathcona Physical Therapy
At Strathcona Physical Therapy, we understand the significant impact that temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can have on one's quality of life. TMJ disorders can cause a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, and difficulty in opening or closing the mouth. That's why our skilled team of therapists is dedicated to providing comprehensive TMJ services and treatments to help individuals regain their oral health and well-being.
When you arrive at our clinic seeking TMJ services, our experienced therapists will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess the underlying causes of your TMJ disorder. This evaluation may involve reviewing your medical history, obtaining X-rays or other imaging studies, and performing a physical examination. With a clear understanding of your unique condition, we can develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Our treatment approach for TMJ disorders often involves a combination of manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and patient education.

Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilizations and soft tissue release, are used to improve the mechanics of the jaw joint and surrounding structures. These hands-on techniques can help reduce pain, increase range of motion, and restore normal function.
Therapeutic exercises play a crucial role in TMJ treatment at our clinic. Our therapists will guide you through a series of exercises designed to strengthen the jaw muscles, improve coordination, and promote proper alignment of the jaw joint. These exercises can be tailored to your abilities and gradually progressed as you make progress.
Education is an integral part of our TMJ services. We believe that empowering our patients with knowledge about their condition and self-care strategies promotes long-term success. During your treatment, our therapists will provide valuable information on lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and ergonomic adjustments that can alleviate TMJ symptoms and prevent future flare-ups. We also encourage open communication with our patients, ensuring that we address any concerns or questions along the way.
At Strathcona Physical Therapy, we strive to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in TMJ treatment. Our therapists integrate evidence-based practices with their extensive clinical experience to deliver exceptional care. We maintain a collaborative approach, working closely with your dental professionals or other healthcare providers to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated treatment plan.
