TMJ and upper cervical chiropractic care in Boise

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, discomfort, and functional issues. These disorders can be challenging to manage, but upper cervical chiropractic care offers a promising approach. At Peak Chiropractic in Boise, we focus on treating TMJ disorders through precise and targeted upper cervical adjustments.

What is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorders involve dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles controlling jaw movement. Common causes include jaw injuries, arthritis, and chronic teeth grinding.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorder:

  • Jaw pain and tenderness
  • Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Headaches and earaches
  • Neck and shoulder pain

Conventional Treatments for TMJ:

Traditional treatments for TMJ disorders often include medications, dental splints, and physical therapy. While these approaches can provide relief, they may not address the underlying causes.

How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Treats TMJ:

  1. Correcting Misalignments: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can contribute to TMJ disorders by affecting the nerves and muscles associated with jaw function.
  2. Improving Nervous System Function: Proper alignment enhances nervous system function, reducing pain and improving jaw movement.
  3. Providing Long-Term Relief: Unlike conventional treatments, upper cervical care addresses the root cause, offering long-term relief from TMJ symptoms.

Patient Testimonials:

Many patients in Boise have found significant relief from TMJ disorders through upper cervical care at Peak Chiropractic. For instance, one patient experienced a reduction in jaw pain and improved jaw function after a series of upper cervical adjustments.

Conclusion:

Upper cervical chiropractic care offers an effective, non-invasive solution for TMJ disorders. By focusing on the alignment of the upper cervical spine, we provide long-term relief from pain and discomfort associated with TMJ. At Peak Chiropractic in Boise, we are committed to helping you achieve better jaw health.

I’ve been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara are amazing! I started seeing them last fall. I had chronic lower back pain and spasms for half my life, about 18 years. After about 2 months of treatment my pain and spasms disappeared and they haven't come back! I've been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up. I was so used to the pain that I was unaware of how my much it was hurting every area of my life. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you guys!

My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore.
Dr. Jon and Kyara are amazing!!! I lived with severe neck and shoulder pain for 5 years, trying everything you can think of for relief. Nothing helped. One day I saw a video on Instagram that just spoke to me. It was everything I was experiencing. The videos are so informative. I called that day and set an appointment. Kyara asked me before my first adjustment if I was ready for the first day of my new life and in my mind I truly wasn’t convinced that it was going to be as magical as it has been. I’ve been there and tried that so I was hopeful but not 100% convinced. She was right, it was the first day of my new life. My pain is nothing like it was, it used to be all I could think about. I’m not perfect yet but I’m on my way there. Peak Chiropractic has changed my life. Best decision I have ever made for myself. My son (13) got a scan for frequent headaches and sensory issues. Dr. Jon had me bring him in for a scan and again was hopeful but not fully convinced and once again they were right. My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore. It has been amazing for him and I’m so grateful he is getting treatment as well. On top of all the goodness we have had since starting we also feel cared for by both Dr. Jon and Kyara. They feel like family and care about us. Kyara is also super into all around health and I am always learning things from her each time I go. Definitely life changing all the way around and I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed!
