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’ve been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara are amazing! I started seeing them last fall. I had chronic lower back pain and spasms for half my life, about 18 years. After about 2 months of treatment my pain and spasms disappeared and they haven't come back! I've been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up. I was so used to the pain that I was unaware of how my much it was hurting every area of my life. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you guys!

With a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment
After dealing with migraines my whole life, then panic attacks and most recently vertigo, which is the absolute worst experience to go through. I was determined to find help and that is where I found Peak Chiropractic with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. They are warm, welcoming and above all experts in the field of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care. They walk you through the process step by step and with a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment. The adjustments are gentle and precise. No cracking or extreme movement of the head, which I can't handle. The last time I saw a chiropractor the extreme movement of my head led me to vomit in the bathroom right after the appointment. Not the case at Peak Chiropractic! I am on a treatment plan that started in February and will go until July and that gives my neck time to adjust and heal and then hopefully maintenance after. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally feel better, sleep better. I don't have the wave of dizziness that I was having on the daily. I also suffer from panic attacks driving and that in itself is debilitating. Even though I came to Peak for migraine and vertigo issues, I had no idea how much it would help me in gaining back my confidence to drive. I no longer get in my car with the feeling of dread and panic. That in itself is life changing!! So thankful and grateful for the care I am receiving and the healing and recovery process. I highly recommend you take the time to get the help you need if suffering from migraines, vertigo or panic attacks. No reason to be miserable when you can get the help you need and through Amazing people like Dr. John and Dr. Kyara!
