TMJ DYSFUNCTION
TMJ Treatment in Bend, Oregon
TMJ dysfunction can cause jaw pain, headaches, facial tension, and difficulty chewing or speaking. Many people are unaware that physical therapy can play a key role in treating these symptoms.
Our clinicians evaluate the interaction between the jaw, neck, and surrounding musculature to identify contributing factors.
Common symptoms
Jaw clicking or popping
Headaches
Limited jaw movement
Pain while chewing
Facial tension
When Should You See a Physical Therapist?
You may benefit from physical therapy if pain or movement limitations are interfering with daily activities, exercise, or work. Early evaluation can often prevent symptoms from becoming more persistent or complex.
Many patients seek care when they notice:
Pain that has not improved after several days
Stiffness or limited mobility
Pain that interferes with sleep or daily tasks
Recurring symptoms during activity
Difficulty returning to exercise or sports
Our clinicians take time to evaluate the full picture so treatment addresses the underlying causes of symptoms rather than just temporary relief.
