Orofacial Pain & TMJ Physiotherapy

What it is:

A specialist physiotherapy service dedicated to the management of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) and orofacial pain. This includes conditions affecting the jaw, face, and cranio-cervical region. Using advanced manual therapy, dry needling, and neuro-muscular techniques, the goal is to restore jaw function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life.

Why it is beneficial:

Jaw and orofacial dysfunctions often affect daily activities such as chewing, speaking, or even sleeping. Untreated, they can also contribute to headaches, neck pain, and long-term facial asymmetries. Specialist care ensures safe, effective, and targeted recovery.

When it is recommended:

Jaw clicking, locking, or painful movement
Orofacial pain associated with bruxism or dental work
Post-dental/surgical jaw dysfunction
Facial nerve issues or Bell’s Palsy recovery

Ideal for treating:

Temporomandibular joint disorders (clicking, locking, pain)
Bruxism-related jaw and facial tension
Orofacial myalgia
Bell’s Palsy & facial neuropathies
Cervicogenic headaches linked to TMJ dysfunction
