Specialist treatments for the Jaw, head & face

​Living with chronic jaw & associated tension & pain can affect every part of your day - from speaking and eating to getting a good nights sleep.
Sometimes, persistent headaches, ear complaints and other facial-related symptoms are rooted in Temporomandibular Joint dysfunction (TMD).

The specialised TMJ and Craniofacial treatment is designed to release tight facial & scalp muscles, including intra-oral work, to improve joint mobility, restore bite alignment, relax muscles of mastication and ease symptoms.
​

Signs of possible TMD

Jaw and/or facial pain

• Clicking and popping sounds in the jaw, with pain
• Headaches
• Difficulty chewing or favouring one side to chew
• Ear symptoms - tinnitus, pain or pressure without signs of infection
• Limited movement in the jaw and the inability to open the mouth fully

Manual therapy is one treatment tactic suggested for the management of TMD by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research.

"I just wanted to say thank you.  I am finally having surgery on my ankle for PTTD, & I know when I was seeing you, you suggested it may be that.  It was dismissed by one podiatrist, but I paid privately for a second chiropody opinion as per your suggestion, and she agreed that is was PTTD.  So again,  I want to thank you, because I think I would still be going round in circles without your diagnosis. I will be in touch when the plaster is off !"
