TMJ Relief in Nampa
If you deal with jaw pain, tension headaches, or clicking when you chew, you might have TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction—a condition affecting the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ dysfunction occurs when the joint or surrounding muscles become irritated, misaligned, or inflamed. While it’s a common issue, it’s not normal, and you don’t have to learn to live with it.
What Are the Symptoms?
If you have TMJ dysfunction, you may experience the following:
- Jaw stiffness or locking
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
- Pain in the jaw, face, neck, or ears
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Difficulty chewing or talking
These symptoms often stem from underlying issues such as misaligned jaw joints, poor posture, clenching or grinding teeth (bruxism), stress, or even past trauma to the head or neck.
A Gentle, Targeted Approach
Nampa chiropractor, Dr. Zachary Reidinger takes a thorough, whole-body approach to TMJ relief at True North Chiropractic and Wellness. Using the Gonstead System—a precise and specific technique—he carefully evaluates the spine and jaw to locate misalignments that may be affecting the nervous system and joint function.
With advanced training through the International Board of Extremity Chiropractors (IBEC), Dr. Zach provides gentle, targeted adjustments designed to restore alignment, improve movement, and calm irritation in the joints and surrounding muscles.
Because TMJ pain often ties into how the body moves and functions throughout the day, care may also include functional movement assessments to correct posture and muscle imbalances, nutritional support to reduce systemic inflammation, and personalized plans to help you maintain long-term relief.
