Physiotherapy<\/a> of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) focuses on improving jaw function, reducing pain and making it easier to open your mouth, talk and chew.<\/p>\n

When your jaw needs help<\/h2>\n

The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the skull, and when it doesn’t work properly, various difficulties can appear, from clicking or popping during movement to pain, limited mouth opening or unpleasant tension in the jaw and face.<\/p>\n

What the therapy includes<\/h2>\n

Depending on the specific problem, physiotherapy can include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • targeted jaw exercises<\/li>\n
  • work on the mobility of the temporomandibular joint<\/li>\n
  • manual techniques<\/li>\n
  • work with the muscles of the jaw, face and neck<\/li>\n
  • practising coordination of jaw movement<\/li>\n
  • recommendations for everyday loading of the jaw<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    With more severe or long-term difficulties, it’s important to look at the problem comprehensively. In some cases, the physiotherapist may need to work together with a dentist, an orthodontist or another specialist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5882,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"ciel":[99,76,78],"pre-koho":[95,86],"pobocka":[104],"typ-sluzieb":[90],"class_list":["post-5881","sluzba","type-sluzba","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ciel-mam-dlhodoby-problem","ciel-zbavit-sa-bolesti","ciel-zlepsit-pohyblivost","pre-koho-dospievajuci","pre-koho-s-obmedzenim","typ-sluzieb-fyzio-zdravotne-cvicenie"],"acf":{"nadpis_sekcie":"Frequently asked questions","otazka_1":"When should I see a physiotherapist about my jaw?","odpoved_1":"If you're struggling with pain, clicking, limited mouth opening or tension in the jaw and face.","otazka_2":"Is jaw clicking always a problem?","odpoved_2":"No. Clicking on its own, without pain or limitation, doesn't have to mean a serious problem.

        Research suggests that therapeutic exercise and manual therapy can help reduce pain and improve the range of mouth opening in temporomandibular disorders.
