DISORDERS OF THE TEMPORO-MANDIBULAR JOINT: HOW CAN WE HELP?
- Do eating, talking, chewing, drinking or even yawning make you suffer?
- Do you have joint noises, pain or muscle sensitivity?
In collaboration with your dentist, our physiotherapists can help you take care of your jaw. Cervical, cranial, dental and psychophysiological issues can be responsible for temporo-mandibular joint dysfunctions.
The pain caused can refer directly to the ears and be the reason for headaches.
