Find Relief from Jaw Pain
Jaw pain can make eating, talking, and even smiling uncomfortable. At Rode Physical Therapy, we specialize in helping patients overcome temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders with safe, effective, and personalized treatment.
Our goal: reduce pain, restore movement, and give you back your quality of life.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and plays a big role in daily activities. When this joint isn’t working properly, it can cause discomfort and limit function.
Common TMJ symptoms include:
-
Jaw pain or stiffness
-
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
-
Difficulty chewing or yawning
-
Headaches or ear pain
-
Jaw “locking” in an open or closed position
