At Voltex Physical Therapy, we specialize in treating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction in Austin, TX. The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and plays an essential role in everyday activities like speaking, chewing, and even breathing. When this joint or the surrounding muscles and ligaments aren’t functioning properly, it can lead to TMJ dysfunction (TMD).
As Doctors of Physical Therapy, we go beyond pain relief. We identify the root cause of your jaw dysfunction, correct movement and alignment issues, and rebuild the strength and control needed for lasting relief — so you can eat, speak, and live comfortably again.
Common symptoms of TMJ dysfunction include persistent jaw pain or tenderness, clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth, difficulty chewing or fully opening the jaw, headaches, migraines, or earaches, and neck, shoulder, or facial pain linked to jaw tension.
TMJ rehabilitation focuses on restoring proper joint movement, reducing pain, and improving jaw function through a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, and posture correction. Our Austin physical therapists use advanced, evidence-based techniques, including:
Your program begins with a one-on-one evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. We assess every factor that may be contributing to your jaw pain, limited mouth opening, or referred symptoms.
