TMJ, Jaw Pain, and Headaches? Relief Starts Here.
Gentle muscle retraining, real results.
If you’re looking for TMJ therapy in San Antonio, myofunctional therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive way to reduce jaw tension, clenching, and headaches — while improving overall oral function.
Tension in the jaw or face isn’t just frustrating — it can disrupt eating, sleeping, and even your focus. Many people struggle with TMJ disorders, clenching, or unexplained headaches for years before discovering the root cause: oral muscle dysfunction.
What’s Really Happening:
Poor tongue posture, mouth breathing, or compensations during chewing can overload the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain, popping/clicking, or radiating headaches. But here’s the good news — myofunctional therapy is designed to correct those patterns at the source.
How We Help:
Carol guides each patient through a customized muscle retraining plan to:
✅ Reduce jaw tension and clenching
✅ Encourage nasal breathing for better oxygenation
✅ Improve chewing function and bite awareness
✅ Release pressure from the TMJ through proper rest posture
✅ Break habits like tongue thrust and night grinding
Ideal for Patients Who:
Clench or grind their teeth
Have a history of TMJ dysfunction or clicking
Wake up with headaches or facial tightness
Feel tension along the jaw, temples, or neck
Use a nightguard but still experience pain
Carol’s Insight:
“Many of my clients have tried everything for their TMJ pain — pain meds, bite guards, even Botox. When we retrain the muscles causing the tension, the relief lasts.”
