TMJ Relief in Flower Mound
If you’ve been struggling with jaw pain, clicking, locking, or difficulty chewing, you may be dealing with TMJ disorder. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. At The Healthy Place, we take a whole-body approach to identify the root cause of your TMJ dysfunction and offer gentle, natural solutions that support long-term healing and comfort.
Some of the Causes of the Dysfunction
TMJ issues can arise from a variety of factors, including:
- Stress or teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Injury to the jaw or neck
- Poor posture or spinal misalignment
- Arthritis or joint inflammation
- Dental misalignment or bite issues
Symptoms often include pain or stiffness, headaches, neck and shoulder tension, earaches, and clicking or popping when opening and closing the mouth. These symptoms may come and go, or persist and worsen over time without proper care.
How Chiropractic Can Help
Flower Mound Chiropractor Dustin Campbell, D.C., recognizes that TMJ pain often occurs with other conditions. As part of your first visit, he performs a detailed assessment of your spine, jaw, muscles, and nervous system to identify the underlying imbalances that contribute to your discomfort.
Through precise, gentle chiropractic adjustments—often including neck, upper back, and cranial areas—Dr. Campbell works to relieve pressure on the temporomandibular joint and restore optimal alignment. Muscle testing and Applied Kinesiology help identify overactive or imbalanced muscles in the area, allowing for targeted soft tissue techniques that encourage lasting relief.
Continued Care Outside the Clinic
In addition to in-office care, Dr. Campbell provides you with at-home exercises, postural recommendations, and stress-reduction tools to help reduce the tension and support long-term wellness.
“The TMJ is more than just a jaw joint—it’s a reflection of what’s going on in the whole body,” says Dr. Campbell. “We help our patients reconnect the dots so healing can happen from the inside out.”
