Jaw pain isn’t just about teeth grinding or clicking joints. It’s often part of a broader pattern of stress, tension, and nervous system overload.

We look at how the jaw, neck, posture, and brain interact—especially with symptoms like facial pain, headaches, ear pressure, or clenching. During your visit, we’ll explore how your system is holding tension and how we can gently retrain those patterns.

Treatment might include:

  • Manual therapy for the jaw and neck

  • Postural and breath retraining

  • Neural desensitization and movement strategies

You’ll leave with clarity, a plan, and tools to feel more at ease—both physically and emotionally.
