Why See an All Care TMJ Physio in Brisbane?

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is a condition that affects the small joints connecting the jaw bone (mandible) to the skull. TMJ dysfunction can be painful and debilitating, interfering with everyday activities such as eating, yawning, or even talking. This condition is also more common in women than men.

TMJ pain is usually felt at the jaw joints (just in front of the ears) or along the surrounding muscles. Other common symptoms include:

  • Clicking, locking, or popping in the jaw

  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth smoothly

  • Pain with yawning, biting, or chewing

  • Jaw deviating to one side when opening

Experienced TMJ Physios in Brisbane

At All Care Physiotherapy Brisbane, our experienced physiotherapists are trained to assess the underlying causes of TMJ pain and provide tailored treatment to help restore normal jaw function.

We understand that no two clients are the same. Our comprehensive TMJ assessments look at:

  • Jaw movement patterns

  • Muscle function and tightness

  • Joint restrictions

  • Associated areas, such as the neck, that may also be contributing to symptoms

Common Causes of TMJ Pain

  • Direct trauma (such as a blow to the jaw)

  • Microtrauma from long-term teeth grinding or clenching

  • Poor posture affecting jaw alignment

  • Muscle overuse or imbalance
