TMJ Disorder Treatment in Virginia Beach, VA

Effective Chiropractic Care for Jaw Pain, Clicking, and TMJ Dysfunction

If you’re suffering from jaw pain, clicking, or tension when chewing or speaking, you might be dealing with a condition known as TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint disorder). At our Virginia Beach chiropractic clinic, we specialize in drug-free, non-invasive TMJ treatments that provide long-lasting relief. With over 25 years of successful patient care, we serve clients throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Kempsville, Town Center, Military Circle, and surrounding areas.

What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder occurs when the temporomandibular joint—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull—becomes misaligned, inflamed, or stressed. This joint plays a critical role in talking, eating, and facial movement. When the muscles or structures surrounding it are disrupted, it can lead to sharp pain, chronic discomfort, or even migraines and earaches.

Common causes of TMJ disorders include jaw misalignment, clenching or grinding teeth (bruxism), injury or trauma to the jaw, arthritis, or chronic stress. Without proper treatment, TMJ dysfunction can worsen and lead to more widespread issues throughout the head, neck, and shoulders.

Signs and Symptoms of TMJ Dysfunction

TMJ disorders affect each person differently, but common symptoms include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness

  • Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw

  • Difficulty opening the mouth fully

  • Headaches and migraines

  • Neck and shoulder tension

  • Facial pain or ear pressure

  • Pain while chewing or speaking

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s important to seek care before the condition worsens. Chiropractic care is one of the most effective non-surgical approaches to correcting TMJ issues by targeting the root cause—muscle tension, joint misalignment, or nerve irritation.

Chiropractic Solutions for TMJ Pain

Our chiropractic office in Virginia Beach offers customized treatment plans that focus on realigning the jaw and cervical spine, reducing inflammation, and releasing muscle tension. By addressing the biomechanics of the jaw, neck, and upper back, we help restore natural function and comfort.

Using gentle, targeted adjustments, we improve joint mobility and promote healing without the need for drugs or surgery. We also use therapies like electric stimulation (TENS), trigger point therapy, and soft tissue release to treat surrounding muscle groups that often contribute to TMJ pain.

Additionally, we evaluate lifestyle habits such as posture, sleeping positions, stress levels, and clenching to help prevent the problem from returning.

Long-Term Benefits of Chiropractic TMJ Treatment

While pain relief is a priority, chiropractic care for TMJ does much more. Patients often experience improved sleep, reduced headaches, better posture, and enhanced focus due to reduced tension in the jaw and surrounding structures. Restoring balance to the jaw can also have positive effects on digestion, breathing, and mental clarity.

By treating the jaw in conjunction with the neck and spine, we promote whole-body wellness. Our goal is not just to get you out of pain but to help you stay out of pain.
