Headaches & TMJ Dysfunction

At Bromberg Chiropractic, our approach to Headaches and TMJ Dysfunction focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of pain rather than masking symptoms. Through customized chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle recommendations, we work to reduce joint stress, ease muscle tension, and improve alignment. Patients often find that treating TMJ dysfunction significantly reduces the frequency and intensity of their headaches. Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve lasting relief and improved quality of life by focusing on the interaction between the jaw, neck, and spine. With consistent care, we help restore proper function, reduce inflammation, and support your long-term health goals.

TMJ dysfunction affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jaw to the skull and enables essential movements like chewing and speaking. When this joint becomes misaligned or inflamed, it can trigger a ripple effect of symptoms, including headaches, facial pain, jaw stiffness, and even neck discomfort. The close relationship between jaw muscles and the cranial nerves means that dysfunction in the TMJ can directly contribute to recurring headaches. Stress, poor posture, and nighttime teeth grinding are common contributing factors. Without proper treatment, these symptoms can worsen over time. Understanding and managing TMJ dysfunction is key to reducing pain and preventing long-term complications.
