Did You Know Chiropractic Helps with TMJ Disorders?

It's true, studies have shown that chiropractic manipulative therapy with manual myofascial work has helped to increase the opening range of the jaw while reducing jaw pain at rest or upon opening. It also has been shown to reduce pain with clenching over the course of 1 year. 

​There were statistically significant differences with the jaw at rest, opening, or clenching. Results reported were superior to those who had no treatment or mouth guards. 

​​Even Tufts School of Dental Medicine has acknowledged the significance of the use of Chiropractic care, and have TWO Chiropractors who lecture to current dental students on craniofascial pain.
