Targeted upper cervical care to help reduce jaw pain, tension, and uneven movement.
Jaw pain can affect how you eat, speak, sleep, or even concentrate. Clicking, locking, or discomfort while chewing may start small—but over time, TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) can disrupt your daily life in surprising ways.
At Precision Chiropractic, we look at how the nerves controlling your jaw muscles are functioning, and where that control may be compromised. Many TMJ symptoms are linked not just to jaw position, but to misalignments in the neck that change how the muscles are working.
How Jaw Function Is Connected to the Spine
The movement of your jaw depends on a balanced network of nerves and muscles. But if the nerves on one side are under more tension, or not firing evenly, your jaw may open or close unevenly, pull to one side, or strain certain joints and ligaments more than others.
