TMJ physiotherapy Edmonton: jaw pain and clicking

Tmj physiotherapy should begin with a clear assessment rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. The physiotherapist reviews symptom behaviour, relevant health history, daily activities, and the tasks that matter most to the patient. From there, treatment can be adjusted to the person instead of only the diagnosis name.

At Trust Care Physiotherapy, our Registered Physiotherapist, Kamal Janakiraman, RPT, may be involved where clinically relevant. Education is part of the appointment because patients should understand what is being treated, what to do at home, and when the plan needs to change.

What TMJ dysfunction is

Work, sleep, driving, exercise, stress, previous injuries, and medical history can all change how a person responds. A careful assessment helps separate what needs treatment now from what should simply be monitored.

The treatment plan may include education, progressive exercise, movement retraining, hands-on care when appropriate, activity pacing, and practical home guidance. The exact mix depends on assessment findings, patient comfort, goals, and how symptoms respond between visits.

Frequently asked questions

Is jaw clicking always a problem?

Not always. Clicking without pain or locking may not require treatment, but painful clicking, catching, locking, or reduced opening should be assessed.

Can neck tension affect TMJ symptoms?

Yes. Jaw movement, head position, neck mobility, and muscle tension can interact. A TMJ assessment often includes the neck and upper back.

Does TMJ physiotherapy replace dental care?

No. Physiotherapy can address movement and muscle contributors, while dental concerns should be managed by a dentist. Some people benefit from both types of care.
