Jaw pain is a common complaint that a lot of people ignore. Pain can be local and intense, or dull. Sometimes it can spread to the neck or head and cause headaches. Jaw clicking, locking and grinding in the night is also commonly experienced with jaw problems. Common causes of jaw pain are jaw misalignment, muscle or ligament imbalance around the jaw, stress and dental work e.g. braces.

At the Body Clinic, your Osteopath can assess your jaw and neck and use techniques around the neck and jaw to help reduce the tension around the area.  Sometimes Osteopaths can use gentle intr-oral techniques (techniques inside the mouth) to help ease your pain.
