Hands-on treatment and guided jaw exercises addressing joint mobility, muscle tension, and posture together.
For some patients, non-opioid medication management can help manage acute flare-ups as part of a broader plan.
If clenching or grinding is a factor, a dentist-fitted nightguard alongside active treatment often works better than either alone. We coordinate with your dentist on this.
Clenching and jaw tension are closely linked to stress. Pain-focused therapy addresses these patterns directly.
Between visits, a certified pain coach helps you build a home exercise routine and habit changes around clenching triggers.
Your first visit focuses on assessing jaw movement, joint sounds, bite mechanics, and related neck and posture factors. From there, your care team builds a plan matched to your specific findings.
Timelines vary. Your team will help set realistic expectations based on your specific case.
“I learned a lot about myself – what I could do to help myself, how I can help myself with my toolbox, that medication isn’t always the answer. My care team showed me how to cope with the pain and deal with everything.”

It depends on the cause. If clenching or grinding is a factor, a dentist-fitted nightguard alongside active treatment often works better than either alone. We can help clarify what’s driving your specific case.
Most patients see meaningful improvement within a few weeks of consistent care, with an ongoing home routine after that.
For the large majority of cases, it is not necessary. Conservative treatment resolves symptoms well. Surgery is typically reserved for structural issues that don’t respond to conservative care.
Coverage can fall under medical or dental insurance depending on your plan and diagnosis. We help you figure out which applies and verify your benefits before your first visit.
