What is Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain can be a debilitating condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to discomfort, difficulty chewing, and limited jaw mobility.
At Leaside Sports Medicine, we proudly specialize in treating jaw pain and TMJ physiotherapy. We can reduce pain and jaw spasms by using hands-on techniques, jaw exercises, and other treatment modalities, making you feel better when speaking and chewing, as well as in your daily life.

TMJ Physiotherapy Applications
Improved Jaw Function
Using various techniques, we aim to enhance jaw function and restore proper range of motion, making eating, speaking, and performing your daily activities easier.
Reduced Jaw Pain
Our TMJ programs effectively reduce pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, allowing you to enjoy a better quality of life.
Enhanced Overall Well-Being
Our approach to TMJ dysfunction addresses not only your physical symptoms but also promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and improves overall well-being.
What is Included in the Program?
Manual Therapy
Our skilled practitioners use targeted manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, to help reduce pain, improve jaw function, and restore proper range of motion in the temporomandibular joint.
Acupuncture
Our trained and certified physiotherapists use fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points affecting jaw muscles, encouraging the body’s natural healing processes and reducing pain.
Postural Correction
Improper posture can contribute to TMJ pain by placing unnecessary stress on the jaw joint and surrounding structures. If our team believes postural issues contribute to your TMJ dysfunction, we may prescribe corrective exercises to improve your posture and alleviate strain.
