Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (often called TMJ or TMD) refers to problems affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. This joint connects your jaw to your skull, and when it’s not functioning properly, it can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty in speaking or chewing.
At Trust Care Physiotherapy, we provide targeted treatment plans to help you manage TMJ dysfunction, reduce pain, and restore normal jaw movement—without relying solely on medications or invasive interventions.
