What is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. It plays an essential role in many functions, such as chewing, speaking and facial expression. Dysfunction of the TMJ can lead to pain, locking and joint noise (cracking), affecting quality of daily life.

Conditions treated by cranial and TMJ physiotherapy

Why consult a physiotherapist

Jaw pain can be debilitating, and can manifest itself in many different ways. A physiotherapist can help you identify the cause of your pain and implement an appropriate treatment plan, in collaboration with your dentist if necessary.

The different approaches to cranial and TMJ physiotherapy

Thérapie manuelle ATM

Manual therapy

Physiotherapy uses specific techniques to mobilize and relax TMJ structures.

Thérapie manuelle ATM
Poncture ATM

Physiotherapeutic puncture with dry needles

Physiotherapeutic dry needling (PPAS) is a technique used to treat musculoskeletal pain, including that associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). By inserting fine needles into tight muscles or trigger points, this method aims to deactivate these points of tension, thereby reducing pain and improving muscle function. PPAS is particularly effective in releasing deep muscle tension and promoting tissue healing.

Renforcement ATM

Strengthening exercises and motor control

Good muscle balance is essential to prevent the recurrence of pain. Targeted exercises help strengthen jaw and neck muscles while improving motor control.

Dentiste ATM

Collaboration with dentists

In many cases, a multidisciplinary approach is required. Close communication with dentists enables treatments to be adapted, particularly for patients suffering from bruxism (teeth grinding) or dental occlusion problems.

The benefits of physiotherapy treatment

Physiotherapy offers many benefits for people suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. It effectively reduces the pain and muscular tension associated with this joint, improving daily comfort.

By working on jaw mobility, physiotherapy facilitates movements such as chewing and speaking, while reducing the cracking and locking often experienced.

In addition, by optimizing coordination between neck posture and TMJ, it contributes to better body alignment. Personalized follow-up also helps to prevent recurrences, ensuring long-term care tailored to each individual.
