TMJ/TMD

If you're experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty with chewing, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condition or temporomandibular disorder (TMD). At Cloudline, we offer the best physical therapy for TMJ/TMD treatment in Philadelphia, helping you alleviate pain, improve function, and restore your quality of life.

Understanding TMJ/TMD

Disorders of the jaw and surrounding muscles and tissues are referred to as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorders). The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your skull and lower jaw, responsible for the opening and closing of your mouth. When this joint is affected by TMD, it can lead to a range of symptoms including:

  • Jaw pain or stiffness

  • Difficulty talking or chewing

  • Clicking or locking of the jaw

  • Difficulty yawning without pain

  • Challenges with eating certain foods

  • Neck pain, stiffness, and headaches

TMD can significantly impact daily activities and quality of life, making it important to seek effective treatment.

How Physical Therapy Can Help with TMJ/TMD?

Physical therapy is a non-invasive and effective treatment option for managing TMJ/TMD symptoms. At Cloudline, our specialized physical therapy programs for TMJ/TMD focus on:

  • Manual Therapy Techniques: Hands-on techniques that reduce pain, improve mobility, and relieve tension in the jaw, neck, and surrounding muscles.

  • Muscle Training: Targeted exercises to strengthen the muscles around the jaw, improving function and reducing strain.

  • Activity Modification: Guidance on how to adjust daily activities to reduce stress on the TMJ and minimize symptoms.

  • Posture Instruction: Training on proper posture to alleviate pressure on the jaw and reduce related symptoms, such as neck pain and headaches.
