Relief for Jaw Pain, Tension & Movement Problems

Jaw pain can affect much more than your jaw. It may make chewing uncomfortable, cause headaches, create tension in the face or neck, or make it difficult to open and close your mouth normally.

At Wilmington Physical Therapy and Wellness, we look at the full picture to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms and how they are affecting your everyday life.

When Your Jaw Doesn't Feel Right

Physical therapy may help with:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
• Clicking, popping, or restricted jaw movement
• Facial or muscle tension
• Headaches associated with jaw or neck tension
• Neck pain occurring with jaw symptoms
• Difficulty chewing or other everyday activities

A Plan Focused on Better Movement

Your evaluation looks at jaw movement, muscle tension, mobility, posture, and related areas that may be contributing to discomfort.

Treatment may include gentle hands-on techniques, targeted exercises, mobility work, posture and movement retraining, and strategies to reduce tension and improve comfortable jaw movement.

The goal is to help you move your jaw more comfortably and return to everyday activities with less discomfort.

Specialized Care When You Need It

Some patients come to physical therapy with more complex or ongoing concerns. We take the time to understand your symptoms and create a treatment approach that addresses what you are experiencing.
