Many people walk around with jaw complaints for a long time without knowing that physiotherapy can help. Complaints are often attributed to stress, poor posture, or simply “fitting in”.

However, there are signs that may indicate you would benefit from specialized guidance.

Signs that may indicate jaw problems

Consider:

  • pain in the jaw while eating or talking
  • a cracking or clicking jaw
  • difficulty opening the mouth
  • fatigue of the jaw muscles
  • headache around the temples or forehead
  • Pain around the ear without a clear cause
  • teeth grinding or jaw clenching

How long do you have to wait?

A complaint does not have to be present for months before you seek help. When symptoms return, worsen, or affect your daily life, it is wise to have them assessed.

What happens during an intake?

During an intake, we look at:

  • the mobility of the jaw
  • muscle tension in face and neck
  • daily habits
  • factors that influence the symptoms

Prevent symptoms from becoming chronic

The longer symptoms are present, the greater the chance that muscles and habits adapt to the pain. Early guidance can help prevent this and help you get a grip on your symptoms faster.
