Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ) is a painful and frustrating condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. At New Life Chiropractic in Virginia Beach, we specialize in natural, non-invasive TMJ treatment that targets the root causes of pain and dysfunction. If you’re struggling with jaw pain, headaches, or facial tension, Dr. Mike Geheren and his experienced team are here to help.

Common TMJ Symptoms

TMJ dysfunction can present with a variety of symptoms, including:

  • Jaw pain or stiffness

  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth

  • Difficulty chewing or speaking

  • Earaches or a feeling of fullness in the ears

  • Headaches, especially around the temples

  • Facial pain or tightness

What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ issues can be caused by a range of factors, including:

  • Stress and teeth grinding (bruxism)

  • Poor posture affecting the neck and jaw alignment

  • Jaw injury or trauma

  • Arthritis in the temporomandibular joint

  • Muscle tension from daily habits or chronic stress

How Chiropractic, Dry Needling, and Massage Can Help

At New Life Chiropractic, Dr. Mike Geheren uses a combination of chiropractic adjustments, dry needling, and therapeutic massage to relieve TMJ pain and restore normal jaw function.

  • Chiropractic care focuses on correcting spinal and jaw misalignments that can contribute to TMJ tension.

  • Dry needling targets trigger points in the jaw and neck muscles, reducing inflammation and relieving muscle spasms.

  • Massage therapy helps release deep-seated tension in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders to restore comfort and mobility.
