TMJ & Jaw Pain Relief in Okotoks

If you are struggling with TMJ dysfunction, you know it’s not just about the discomfort—it’s about the frustration of a joint that simply won't do its job. Many of our patients come to us after trying mouthguards or "waiting it out," only to find their daily activities are still being cut short.

You don’t have to settle for:

• Difficulty eating certain foods because your jaw won't open wide enough.

• The embarrassment of a loud "pop" every time you speak or chew in public.

• Waking up with facial fatigue and a "stiff" feeling that lasts all morning.

• The constant worry that your jaw might catch or lock at an inconvenient time.

TMJ Physiotherapist, Malyne Sean, uses a combination of precise, hands-on techniques to reset your jaw mechanics:

• Intra-oral Myofascial Release: Gentle manual work inside the mouth to release the deep pterygoid muscles that external massage cannot reach.

• Joint Mobilization: Skilled techniques to improve the "tracking" and alignment of the jaw.

• Cervical Spine Integration: Treating the upper neck to reduce "referred" pain that often feels like an earache or a temple headache.

• Trigger Point Therapy: Targeted release of muscle "knots" in the cheeks and scalp.
