TMJ and upper cervical chiropractic care in Boise

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, discomfort, and functional issues. These disorders can be challenging to manage, but upper cervical chiropractic care offers a promising approach. At Peak Chiropractic in Boise, we focus on treating TMJ disorders through precise and targeted upper cervical adjustments.

What is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorders involve dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. Common causes include jaw injuries, arthritis, and chronic teeth grinding.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorder:

  • Jaw pain and tenderness
  • Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Headaches and earaches
  • Neck and shoulder pain

Conventional Treatments for TMJ:

Traditional treatments for TMJ disorders often include medications, dental splints, and physical therapy. While these approaches can provide relief, they may not address the underlying causes.

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Treats TMJ:

  1. Correcting Misalignments: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can contribute to TMJ disorders by affecting the nerves and muscles associated with jaw function.
  2. Improving Nervous System Function: Proper alignment enhances nervous system function, reducing pain and improving jaw movement.
  3. Providing Long-Term Relief: Unlike conventional treatments, upper cervical care addresses the root cause, offering long-term relief from TMJ symptoms.

Patient Testimonials:

Many patients in Boise have found significant relief from TMJ disorders through upper cervical care at Peak Chiropractic. For instance, one patient experienced a reduction in jaw pain and improved jaw function after a series of upper cervical adjustments.

Conclusion:

Upper cervical chiropractic care offers an effective, non-invasive solution for TMJ disorders. By focusing on the alignment of the upper cervical spine, we provide long-term relief from pain and discomfort associated with TMJ. At Peak Chiropractic in Boise, we are committed to helping you achieve better jaw health.

I will never go anywhere else
I highly recommend this chiropractor. I was hesitant to see a chiropractor because I had broken my back when I was younger and hate adjustments. That being said, I will never go anywhere else. I trust and feel comfortable here. The entire environment is comfortable and every person I talked to here was so personable and nice. Like I said, I highly recommend going here!

Was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved
After trying chiropractic treatments and months of physical therapy that produced little to no results we had about given up on the medical field. Fortunately Connie found Peak Chiropractic! After her first adjustment she had amazing results, she was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved which led me to quickly make an appointment. Range of motion in my neck was pretty much non-existent and after my first adjustment was tremendously improved! Connie and I both continue to see great improvements in our overall health and are amazed at our progress. It is definitely a journey well worth taking. Drs. John and Kyara are both very knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being wonderful and caring people, their passion to help is very evident in everything they do. Highly recommended, it is a life changing experience!
