IF YOU'RE READING OR HAVE LANDED ON THIS PAGE HAVE A LOOK AT THE IMAGE ABOVE. How many of these could be driving your Jaw issues, how many of these do you tick? There are more drivers too, we simply couldn't fit it on the image 
 

This is what we do as part of helping our clients, especially women, because women are more likely to suffer from TMJ problems vs men (We still help men). 

Botox, Splints, local muscle dry needling, massage, trigger point therapy can all be effective treatments, BUT, what happens when they are short lived or wear off. This is what we specialise in. A deeper look at what drives and causes JAW problem when they no longer respond to conventional routes 

 It is important to know that TMJ can arise from different causes such as :
- Direct trauma to the jaw such as in sports 

- misaligned teeth or bite 

- Muscular issues 
- Joint Arthritis 

- Anxiety and chronic stress 

- Gut issues 
- Hormonal shifts 

​

Whatever the potential cause we apply the below methods to create a plan of action for you 

 

 

 

Acupuncture's unique approach 

 

A neurofunctional and holistic approach to Jaw pain is critical for successful outcomes. Our training and treatment methods apply a different approach. We scan and assess the jaw and its associated muscles and take an additional look at how other joint structures such as the shoulder or upper back posture may be impacting the jaw in a compensatory manner. We also delve deep into other contributing factors such as stress and anxiety which are factors that often contribute to clenching and grinding. With our unique treatment, we can help treat pain, muscles and underlying causes such as anxiety and more. This provides better outcomes and helps clients see long term resolution
