TMJ Treatment in Arlington, WA
The jaw joint works hard every time you talk, chew or clench. When it gets irritated, you may hear clicking, feel pain in your face or wake up with headaches. Because the jaw and neck work together, we treat both with gentle, low-force care.

Can TMJ Be Treated by a Chiropractor?
Many people get relief from gentle work on the jaw muscles and the upper neck. We also coordinate with your dentist when needed.
What Is the Best Therapy for TMJ?
It depends on the cause. Many people do well with conservative care first: gentle jaw and neck work, better posture and less clenching. If your bite or teeth are involved, your dentist is part of the plan too.
