Different Types of Jaw Pain

Did you know the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) – the joint between the temporal bone and the lower jaw – is one of the most used joints in your body? Be it eating, speaking, or yawning, you’re using your jaw almost without realizing it until you experience pain in this joint.
Jaw pain and swelling can be caused by multiple reasons. Here are some of the most common ones we treat at Horizon Physical Therapy:

TMJ Disorders

TMJ disorders occur when muscles and ligaments around your jaw experience inflammation. These disorders are caused by a variety of reasons, including teeth grinding, an improper bite, stress, or acute trauma.

Arthritis

Pain, restricted movement, and swelling or common symptoms of arthritis in the jaw joint. The arthritis can be any of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or psoriatic arthritis – all of which require early detection and treatment.

Sinus Infection

Sinuses between our eyes, in the cheekbones, and above the nose make up a significant portion of our face. Any pain or infection in the sinuses leads to swelling and stiffness in the jaw as well.

Periodontal Diseases

Periodontal diseases, commonly known as gum diseases, caused by poor dental health lead to severe pain and swelling on the outside of the jaw – even resulting in chronic jaw pain.

Besides these causes of jaw pain, an actual fracture or injury to the jaw also leads to severe pain.
Our therapists help identify the cause of jaw pain and treat it effectively – whatever type it may be.

Physical Therapy For Jaw Pain

Many people with severe jaw pain might consider going for trigger point injections or surgery. However, these methods are expensive and have no guarantee of relief. At Horizon Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation, we offer physical therapy that provides results without risking further pain. After assessing your injury and the affected area, we initiate a series of therapies, including massages, soft tissue mobilization, and ultrasound.
With our therapists to take care of you, you’ll be on the path to holistic recovery right away.
