TMJ Treatment & Therapy in Folkestone, Kent
Help with Jaw Pain, Teeth Grinding & Clenching
Do you regularly wake up with a sore jaw, experience tension around your face or find yourself clenching or grinding your teeth?
These symptoms can sometimes be associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect the joints and muscles responsible for moving your jaw.
At Neka Wellbeing in Sandgate, Folkestone, our TMJ therapist Gill offers TMJ therapy to help patients manage jaw discomfort, muscle tension and symptoms associated with teeth grinding and clenching.
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your lower jaw to your skull, allowing you to do everyday things like eating, speaking and opening your mouth. When these joints or the surrounding muscles aren't working as comfortably as they should, you may experience jaw pain, stiffness or clicking when opening and closing your mouth.
Some people also experience headaches, facial tension or difficulty moving their jaw. Teeth grinding and clenching can contribute to these symptoms, often happening during sleep without you even realising.
If you're experiencing any of these problems, it's worth having them assessed to understand what might be causing the discomfort and which treatment options could help.
What Is TMJ Dysfunction?
TMJ Therapy with Gill at Neka Wellbeing
Living with persistent jaw discomfort can affect everyday activities, from eating and speaking to getting a comfortable night's sleep. Gill provides personalised TMJ therapy at our Folkestone clinic, with treatment tailored to your symptoms and individual needs.
The aim is to help manage discomfort, reduce tension and support more comfortable jaw movement where appropriate. Your appointment provides an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, understand possible contributing factors and explore suitable treatment options.
Where necessary, further dental or medical assessment may be recommended.
Can TMJ Therapy Help with Teeth Grinding?
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching can occur during sleep or throughout the day, sometimes without you realising. Over time, these habits may contribute to jaw discomfort, muscle fatigue and wear on your teeth.
TMJ therapy may help manage some of the associated muscular discomfort, although it may not stop the grinding or clenching itself. The most appropriate approach depends on the underlying cause and your individual symptoms.
