Physical therapy can be an effective treatment for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, helping to reduce pain and improve jaw function. Through manual therapy, targeted exercises, postural correction and patient education, physical therapy works to decrease muscle tension, improve joint mobility, and restore normal jaw and neck movement. These therapies can ease symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, clicking and difficulty chewing, while also providing patients with strategies to manage symptoms and prevent them from returning.
