TMJ can be very painful. It can lead to headaches, vision problems, neck pain, earaches, the inability to chew properly and much more.
The Cartilage that is above your mandible can move forward or be pushed up behind the joint. This will either make it impossible for you to put your teeth together or chew evenly on both sides. You may sometimes hear cracking and experience pain when chewing, talking or moving your mouth.
How can I help you with this problem?
I have taken specialized training in TMJ to move the disk to the proper place above your jaw so that it moves properly without pain or dysfunction. There is no need for surgery, x-rays or medication, just a gentle adjustment which will alleviate your symptoms.
Why go through unnecessary procedures when a specialized exam can be performed and find out how your TMJ is working.

Chiropractors are masters of the spine and nervous system. We tract and follow symptomatic patterns in the body and relieve stressors in these areas which allow the body to function at its highest level. Did you know that we can affect any joint in the body? Yes! Its true! Some chiropractors believe that the whole body including your hands, feet, shoulders etc. are all involved in symptomatic problems in the body.
Everyone has heard about the kinetic chain we have on our bodies. Remember the song…hand bones connected to the wrist bone, the wrist bones connected to the elbow bone? Well, chiropractors certified in chiropractic extremities by the Council of Extremity Adjusting believes this to be true.
Everything is connected so after we adjust the spine, we make sure the other areas of the body are addressed to make sure they don’t affect the movement and function of your body.
I am the only chiropractor in the San Mateo County area that is certified by the CEA to adjust ribs, arms, legs, shoulders, feet and address TMJ problems. If you have any problem in your body, we can help!
